An Atlanta attorney who has spent more than a decade on music, media and creator deals, on both sides of the table.
Why high-demand tours attract fraud on secondary markets, and how fans can avoid it.
Lessons from Steve Lobel, Scooter Braun, Moe Shalizi and Reed Duchscher.
What Rick Ross, Master P and Nappy Roots teach about owning products, not just songs.
An entertainment lawyer handles the legal side of a creative career: reviewing and negotiating contracts (brand deals, recording, producer, management, publishing and distribution agreements), protecting rights through copyright and trademark filings, registering songs so royalties get collected, and setting up the business entity behind the work. Zeb Chandler does this for creators, musicians, producers and independent labels from his Atlanta office.
It depends on the work. A single brand deal contract review is a flat $249 through Brand Deal Review. A 90-minute consultation is $350, live in Atlanta or remote. Contract negotiations and business setup are quoted before any work starts, so you know the fee up front. The Artist and Label Accelerator is $7,500 for the first 12 weeks.
Yes. Consultations happen online or in person in Atlanta, and many clients never visit the office. Zeb is admitted to practice in Georgia. If your matter needs a lawyer licensed in another state, he'll tell you at the start and can work alongside local counsel.
No. Zeb doesn't pitch music to labels or act as a manager or agent. He reviews, negotiates and drafts the agreements once a label, distributor, manager or brand makes you an offer, and he helps you set up the business and registrations so you're ready when that happens.
Not for every deal. It's worth it when the money is meaningful, the brand wants long or unlimited usage rights, exclusivity blocks other brands, the brand wants to own your content, or the contract makes you responsible for claims about their product. For those, the $249 Brand Deal Review gives you a written attorney review within 48 hours.
The contract or offer you're considering (or a summary if you can't share it yet), the names of everyone involved so we can check for conflicts, your deadline, and the outcome you want. Zeb will tell you what matters, what's negotiable and what the next step costs.
Share the basics: what the deal is, who it's with and when you need to decide. Please don't send confidential details or the contract itself yet.
