Marc Jacobson

Marc has been a tireless advocate as both a strategic advisor and savvy negotiator. He is always extremely responsive, and he brings his vast experience to every situation. Working with Marc inspires confidence and certainty that any assignment will be handled professionally and successfully. In addition, his large network of industry contacts enhances my business development efforts. Marc has my full and complete endorsement for his services.

Marc is always there, from the regular contractual advice and negotiation involvement. The most important service for me is that at virtually any time I have a query, even immediately on a telephone call. Marc can give me the salient advice needed usually on the moment as his knowledge of copyright law particularly is right up to date.

I am so lucky to have been able to work with Marc on signing my first publishing deal. Marc goes above and beyond to explain all of the possible options I have as an artist. He answered all of my questions big and small, never made me feel stupid about anything I was confused about and took the time to make sure I always understood the terms of what we were working on. I really feel like Marc has my back! He not only protected my interests, he also made it a point to explain his points thoroughly and educate me about different clauses, options, niche legalities in the entertainment world, and so on, where I now feel stronger as an artist to make decisions and form my own opinions regarding future deals and offers. Marc taught me so much in such a clear and concise way. He is extremely accessible and always answers my messages/calls in a kind, timely manner. Marc is supportive, knowledgeable, gets to the point and gets the job done WELL! He gave me so much confidence to sign my deal! I will always go with Marc Jacobson! Highly recommend!

We’ve been working with Marc on a variety of music publishing projects for well over a year now. His legal counsel has kept our business secure. Marc does a great job researching and explaining the state of affairs without a lot of fluff. He gets to the heart of the matter. We can confidently proceed with peace of mind in 2021. I highly recommend Marc Jacobson, he truly understands the industry.

Marc is the type of lawyer you wouldn’t want to start a project without. I had the good fortune of hiring him to represent my company on a number of projects needing consultation and contracts from copyright issues, work for hires, collaboration agreements, music rights, and project strategies. Marc never ceased to deliver the top shelf service and expertise legends are made of. Marc IS the “green light” of any project I undertake. His knowledge of the industry and dedication to elevating the craft is like no other. He is the captain who steers your project to the shores of success, avoiding the reefs of incompetent filmmaking and ill prepared undertakings. Frankly, I sleep better at night knowing Marc is in my corner allowing me to focus creative energies in bringing life to my projects. Often I am approached with the question, “How do I get an agent?” I always respond with the same answer, “ You don’t need an agent...you need a great lawyer.” It is my belief that often a lawyer is not thought of until there is a problem (usually a big one) or a significant project comes their way. This is a mistake. Your career, like your health needs to be maintained. Marc is the specialist that keeps the heart of my career pump life into the slate. He makes sure all the legal aspects of any endeavor are “buttoned up” with proper chain of titles, and releases from the get go. Like a heart specialist he counsels me on what’s good for my creative health and the things I best avoid. He always gives me the space to absorb his counsel and apply his recommendations. I’ve never known Marc to be wrong in his advice to me. Is he a super hero? In his field...yes. For I have come to regard Marc as my artistic parent who gives me the ‘yeh or neh’ whether I can ‘go play’ with other creatives on a project. When Marc gives me the okay, well, it’s like any kid who gets told by their parent it’s safe to go play with those kids in the neighborhood...their your super hero...that’s Marc.
