Matt Cross

I highly recommend Matt Cross for Entertainment related projects. Matt is very skilled in contract, business, and entertainment law. He has impressed me with not only his skill as a lawyer but also with his passion for advocating for his clients. If Matt Cross works with you it will be because he tru...ly believes in your case. Matt does not discriminate based on age. With Matt's help I am beginning the process of releasing my music for the first time that I have been working on for over 10 years. Matt noticed my talent as a singer and felt I was worth representing even though I am only 22 years old. Matt Cross is very quick about responding to emails and is very professional. I highly recommend Matt Cross!

Matt was great to work with. I had a contract template for my new business, but I wasn't sure about all the extra provisions (and legal wording) that I would need to make it legally sound. He stepped in, made excellent revisions, and got it done in the time frame I needed. I would highly recommend hi...s work and will come back if I need another contract in the future. Thanks!

Matt reviewed our contract and located several flaws which we did were not aware of. As a result the company we signed a contract, kept our very large deposit and refused to refund us. We hired Matt to start ligation and get our deposit back. Matt began a process that we thought would take a...t least at year or more. He was on point, gave us great feedback, advise and resolved our case in less time than we have imagined. We were so pleased with the winning decision.

Matt was the first lawyer I ever hired for help with my music business and I was more than satisfied with the way he answered my questions and how quickly he responded to emails and voicemail. His past experience with NMPA and Harry Fox was invaluable to us. I hope to continue working with him for ma...ny years to come.

Matt served us well by talking through the options and pros and cons of a complicated agreement - record label contract, management services contract, etc. - essentially a modified 360 deal. And he did so in the context of crafting a plan that protected the artist's interests as well as our own. Ma...tt is concise, direct and fast to get down to the essentials of what the agreement language has to accomplish. He's always a pleasure to work with. He gets music, musicians, and the music business. He has seen the disasters wrought by inadequate contracts and agreements. He forces you to look way down the road and what the world might be like if all the crap that is possible in this business were to happen all at once. In short, he knows how to put the smile and the handshake into words that will preserve the intent and commitment of that moment, despite whatever trials and tribulations, into the future.
