Recommended Music Lawyers
lawyers are a great thing when they're on your side
- Masur & Associates
- They've done a lot of great work for CD Baby: the deal between CD Baby and Tower Records, all the deals with the digital download retailers, and more. Their website explains their services better than I can, but Cheryl, Andy, and Steven are great people and I highly recommend them.

- LaPolt Law
- Dina was a professional musician for years, and it shows. She's one of the most helpful people I've met, with a real specialty in helping artists with deals. She knows everyone in the industry, and puts herself out there at every music conference to help musicians as much as she can. Though she works with the biggest, she always has time for unknown emerging artists. Treat her for sushi at Murakami Sushi on Santa Monica Blvd.

- McNamer and Company (formerly Davis Dixon)
- Representing several top snowboarders, BMXers and skateboarders as well as multi-platinum acts like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Anthony and his firm, McNamer and Company, have become known for being one of the top Intellectual Property, Media and Technology, and Entertainment/Sports law firms on the West Coast. With a lot of experience and a lot of heart, they always do what is best for their clients. The type of guys who go to bat for you, and when the legal paperwork is done, can sit back and throw a great BBQ and party. Anthony himself is located in Portland, Oregon and, a true music lover and indie record label owner, can be spotted at concerts during the weekends.

- Suzette Becker
- I can't rave enough about Suzette Becker. After conferences and conversations with her I am SO impressed with her sharp attention for details, but broad overview of a situation. (Meaning: she knows how to drop the lawyer-talk, and look at a situation for what it is.) She's a tireless networker at every music conference, and a great person to have on your side, even if you never go to New Orleans. (Her office is above the House of Blues.) Her analysis of the CD Baby Digital distribution contract was spot-on and impressive. One of the friendliest people you'll ever meet, and VERY up-to-date on all the digital/download/internet issues of the day.
