About Us
ILS: taking care of business
We take care of the business and legal side of running an independent music business. We have been helping independent music businesses of all kinds since 2005 and work closely with industry trade bodies such as the Musicians’ Union, AIM and the BPI.
Our objective is to provide our clients with the specialist legal and commercial advice that they need to make sense of today’s complex (and constantly evolving) music industry and enable them to profitably sell directly to their fan base.
ILS can help you:
- Establish your business
- Choose the right business model
- Clear rights from people you have worked with
- Ιdentify and preserve your Intellectual Property (IP) and
- Deal with ongoing contractual matters
We help artists become autonomous. We give them the knowledge, support and tools to DIY their own business and legal affairs.
We also help solo artists deal with the contributors to their project helping them to structure and clear the necessary legal rights from other musicians who have collaborated with them.
We can provide you with a set of easy-to-use, fixed fee template agreements for you to use going forward.
We can provide ongoing advice as you enter into dealings with artists and other labels and suppliers.
