To offer the best legal advice to an artist or songwriter signing their first deal or an executive signing up for the biggest job of their career, it isn’t enough just to be a lawyer.
Market knowledge, a strong network of personal relationships and, above all, the ability to know how and when to make a deal are key to the services Edge Group offers in its legal practice.
We represent predominantly UK clients, but also represent the UK interests of international players and the international interests of UK clients.
Although we represent superstars, we understand the importance of new talent – they are the superstars of tomorrow, the lifeblood of our business – so we go out of our way to represent artists yet to win fame or recognition.
Our music clients include artists, songwriters, record companies, music publishers, promoters, merchandisers and personal and business managers.
Other clients include film companies, television companies, DVD/video companies, book publishers, agents, promoters, sponsors and merchandisers. We represent brands, fashion houses and designers in the fields of and fashion and jewellery.
Our legal team can draw on the outstanding abilities as deal-maker of Edge Group founder David Glick, his former partner at Eatons – now business manager of Eric Clapton – Michael Eaton and former business affairs supremo at Sony-BMG Alasdair George.
The combined expertise of our advisers includes many years of experience both in industry and in private practice. This enables us to see both sides of a deal and to understand what all parties may be seeking from a negotiation.
We understand the artistic as well as the commercial and thrive in the areas where the needs of the artist and of commerce collide, and sometimes conflict. We bring inventive, thoughtful, lateral solutions to complex problems that traditional lawyers do not expect to resolve.
And because we also work in the worlds of corporate finance and investment, this gives us unique insight into the business issues behind transactions, enabling us to be much more commercial legal advisers. We pride ourselves on being lateral thinkers in a literal world.
Whether you are an individual or a company requiring legal expertise and a deal-making sensibility, please get in touch.
