Law firms ranked by client reviews
Music publishing covers the management and exploitation of song rights, including ownership, licensing, and income collection. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates publishing agreements, assigns and re-licenses rights, registers works with performing rights societies, and negotiates synchronization and print deals. They also advise on royalties, copyright protection, and disputes over ownership or exploitation, ensuring contracts align with creators’ interests and maximise lawful income from compositions and their use in media.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The work revolves around drafting, negotiating and registering publishing agreements, handling assignments, splits and admin, plus securing licenses for uses such as film, TV and adverts. It also covers royalty audits, rights protection, enforcement against infringement, and coordinating with collecting societies like PRS for Music and MCPS to track and collect income for songwriters and publishers.
