Individual advice for all parties involved in the media and entertainment industry on a wide range of questions and tasks especially for:

Artists, authors, music producers, recording companies, managements, music publishers, software developers, photographers, video producers, film and television producers, agencies, stylists, designers, web portals and everybody who would like to use some good advice.

Many years of practical international experience in constructive contract drafting, contract review and negotiation, combined with developing the right strategy to achieve the desired goals. I also enjoy supporting complex negotiations, from preparation and negotiation strategy through to the negotiations themselves and, ideally, a solution that works for everyone involved.

Handling disputes and solving problems, if they need to arise at all.

A strong network of contacts with companies and professionals throughout the creative industries.

I regularly and passionately teach and lecture at various institutions, including Popakademie Baden-Württemberg, the University of Potsdam and Berlin University of the Arts, as well as giving workshops for companies and organisations such as e.g. GEMA. In addition to music law and the music business, my topics increasingly include workshops for modern negotiation, communication and constructive ways of dealing with different interests and conflicts.

I am also always happy to speak on these and related topics at conferences, industry events and company events, and to take part in panels and discussions as e.g. for the Deutsche Anwaltsakademie (Academy of the German Bar Association) with respect to Artifical Intelligence.

My work in this area also includes coaching, podcasts and other conversational formats.

And because the law does not always have to be dry, you can also find me on social media and in podcasts with “Entertain with Law”, offering short insights into music law, the music business and occasionally the more unexpected sides of legal practice.

Initial consultations can usually be arranged at short notice to assess the individual situation and explore possible solutions.
