Music Publishing

Probably one of the least understood areas of the music industry is music publishing. Most people in the business know “something” about it, but too few know “enough” about it.  And with the everchanging landscape of the music industry, it can be difficult to keep up. Globalization, digitization, virtual and augmented reality along with technology advances and access have simply changed everything about how music is created, consumed, and monetized. 

Simply put, music publishing is the business of songs.  It involves everything from creation of songs, copyrights, pitching, promoting, commercializing, monetizing, licensing, collections, registrations, and administration. 

The Law Office of Heather Beverly, P.C. has decades of experience working with songwriters, producers, publishers, agents, brokers, and legacy estates with respect to the complex issues that arise within the world of music publishing. We are privileged to work with all types of clients ranging from songwriters with their first placement, hit producers, startup publishers, legendary catalogs, songwriter estates, brokers, licensing agencies, agents and more.   Our goal is to educate our clients as much as it is to utilize our collective expertise to effectively serve their legal needs in this area.
