First class legal services for custom artist agreements and contracts

My non profit record label and publishing company needed a custom contract unique to our purposes. I had a hard time finding anyone with the expertise to integrate our out-of-the-box copyright and royalty needs into a formal legal contract that we could use with our artists. At first we consulted wit...h another lawyer who was able to provide a more standard contract, but we found that we needed something different, more tailored to current artist's needs. Caroline listened to our mission and worked with us, providing something that resonates with artists while making sure our organization has what we need to do business. She was patient, thorough, clear, and kind. I'd highly recommend her to anyone - especially an artist - looking for legal work.

Great Experience!

We reached out to Caroline to help tighten up our contracts, and in such a timely manner Caroline got back to us with a draft. She has been so helpful throughout the entire experience, explained all of our questions, and we have been very pleased with the entire experience. We will definitely continu...e our relationship with Caroline for future contract needs.

Smart AND kind!!

Caroline Kert embodies the full spectrum of what many would wish to have in a lawyer. She was very kind, cared about my financial situation and extremely helpful to someone who was new and bewildered by the process and facts involved in licensing photos for a film/music video. While kind and c...onsiderate, she was also extremely knowledgeable, and obviously, quite comfortable in the area of law in which we were working. She was quick and concise, and very efficient with time, helping me get the most for the money. She trimmed off anything I didn't need, and was quick to respond to my needs, which was great, due to a short deadline I was hoping to make. I will go back to her as soon as I need her next!

Apartment Lease

Caroline quickly took my detailed notes on a lease contract and reviewed them. She gave excellent, detailed feedback which was clear to follow in an annotated word document.

A Great Business Attorney

I've retained Caroline multiple times to review business contracts and to draft employment agreements. I've always found her quick to jump to the task, concise in her answers, and well tailored to the specific requirements of my legal asks. Caroline is terrific to work with and I have nothing but pra...ise for her and the quality of her work.
