Q & A relating to the entertainment industry

Do you have a good contract?

A contract is like a jigsaw puzzle. There are lots of pieces that have to be put together before you have a good entertainment contract. I will ensure that all of your concerns are addressed and that your best interests are being looked after. Handshakes are nice when negotiating, but all agreements should be in writing so that there is no disagreement or misunderstandings.

Legal liability issues

Whether it is your band or your venue, what happens if your gear falls? What if someone gets hurt at the event? Who pays? Can you be sued personally and lose your home or car? Should I form an LLC to operate my band as a business?

Did the venue "stiff" you?

Getting a well-paying gig is tough enough, but getting paid is sometimes even more difficult and often the hardest thing you have to do. If someone owes you money, don't just sit back and let them keep your money! Attorney Lohse is on your side and will help you collect what is rightfully owed to you.
