Law firms ranked by client reviews
Recording agreements govern how a musician or artist's performances and master recordings are captured, produced and exploited by a record label. In England this area covers the formal contract terms the parties agree on, such as ownership of masters, grant of rights, royalties, advances, term, territory, options and modes of exploitation. A solicitor negotiates and drafts the deal, checks licensing and assignment of rights, and aligns the agreement with tax, IP and competition rules. The work often interacts with collecting societies like PRS for Music and PPL, and with copyright and contract law principles.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor handles the drafting and negotiation of terms around ownership of master recordings, the scope of rights granted (territory, media and duration), royalty calculations and reporting, advances and recoupment, audit rights, and termination or reversion on expiry. They manage assignment of rights, status of rights in territories, and compliance with UK copyright and contract law, while coordinating with collecting societies and ensuring clear remedies if breaches occur.
