MBJ Legal Services consultancy has the philanthropic aim of advising and helping vulnerable new bands/artists take informed business/legal decisions in the often ruthless and uncharitable music industry as well as consulting mid level Producers, Song Writers, Composers, Artists, Bands and Industry Professionals advance to a higher level in their careers

The early stages of a band’s career is the time when the first important decisions regarding band agreements, record/publishing deals and live work are taken; therefore it is considered essential for bands to get advice before taking these decisions. However, starting up bands have little or no income and they can rarely afford paying standard lawyers or business advisers rates.

The high-risk and speculative nature of the business in the music industry leads to record/publishing companies and management to seek long-term exclusive arrangements from their artist to eventually reap the reward for all the upfront money, time and energy invested. This, coupled with the youth and inexperience of the artists and their desire to find someone who can help them succeed, can create situations ripe for exploitation by the unscrupulous.
