About Marc
Biography
Since graduating from the University of Chicago Law School, I've been a senior executive, attorney and professor in the music business. With both extensive business experience and first-hand knowledge of what it means to be an artist, I understand the needs of both creators and companies as well as entities that manage or license intellectual property.
I work with talented colleagues who enable me to help individuals and businesses form, grow, raise money, create and license IP and resolve disputes.
I take pride in working efficiently, effectively and creatively. I'll analyze and explain the practicalities as well as the legalities of any situation. And, if you read any of my frequent blog posts, you'll see that I do so in plain English.
