In all business situations, knowing about the laws surrounding the industry you’re involved in, is essential to the longevity of how successful the business becomes.  Contracts, agreements, and all other transactions, whether monetary or not, should be legally documented.  Why? Because, these are the rules, regulations, and expectations, of what the deal is… Once both parties agree on the terms, it leaves little room for someone to not follow through with their end of the deal.  Those who fail to come through, will have a weak argument to battle in, or outside of the courtroom.

The higher the stakes, the more you realize how important it is to invest time and money in the legal aspects of your business.  This is something entrepreneurs should do first, to protect your assets is a top priority.  So when I got an email about a music business seminar happening in the Bay from Kofi Acquaah-Arhin (Papa Lo Down’s attorney/legal advisor), I thought I should let you know as well.

The Volume 2009 – Music Business Seminar, an all-day educational event for the Bay Area music community, is the perfect place for independent artists to learn more about this element of their career.  I highly suggest attending, especially since the fees are WAY less than many music industry events.
