Big time help for my small business

Michelle helped me set up an Operating Agreement for my LLC and walked me through the copyright process for freelance writing and photography in a clear and approachable way. Highly recommended!

An Accessible, Friendly, and Professional Arts Lawyer

I've known Michelle since her burgeoning musical career (she's a fantastic artist herself). Hiring an art and entertainment lawyer with real-world experience was a must. Michelle knows law inside and out, and what's more, she has an intimate and personal knowledge of the industries that she practices... in. While it might not seem important at face value, when meeting with Michelle in our introductory client interview, and throughout the process of her representing my photography business, she asked insightful questions only an insider would. Drafting contracts with Michelle was a breeze, and she customized a suite of them to meet my individual needs. That's to say that Michelle is not selling DIY templates online. What you get with Michelle is a seasoned professional willing to listen and accommodate an artist's unique business. Michelle meet every deadline we created together, which streamlined the process and had me using my contracts in a matter of weeks. Furthermore, during this short turnaround period, she continuously checked in and answered my questions via email in less than two days, often sooner. If you are looking for representation (or myriad services she offers), I'd highly recommend Michelle!

Oskar & Julia Music LLC

We hired Michelle Kennedy when we got into a messy situation with the release of our debut album. She helped us with incredible legal advise as well as getting our LLC running the right way. Michelle never hesitated to go above and beyond at all times, we are so lucky to have had her as our lawyer. ... She customized Copyright Assignments, Independent Contractor Service Agreements, and even through in bonus documents to prevent sticky situations from happening again.
