Entertainment and Media Law
Over the course of the last few decades, the creative sector in South Africa has developed into a flourishing economy that allows musicians, artists, designers, photographers, and filmmakers to transform their talents into careers. This development was not the product of random occurrence; rather, it is the direct outcome of dedicated artists devoting time and energy not only to the creation of their art but also to the management of the business that supports it.
AMI LEGAL – DOC ASSIST provides a wide range of legal services to clients in the music industry, including musicians, creatives and creative agencies, management agencies, record labels, and anybody else whose work involves artistic performance, intellectual property, or advertising. We peel away the unintelligible legalese and communicate to you in a language you can understand, at a price that you can afford, whether you need contracts created, guidance on publishing arrangements, or just a discussion over coffee to bounce around an idea. This applies whether you need us for drafting contracts, guidance on publishing deals, or just a chat over coffee.
