A recent business law consultation reminded me to help more business entrepreneurs see the importance of an attorney to the well-being of their businesses. An artist called with questions about how to develop a contract for commission work. She had begun the work on an agreed invoice, but had left so many details off the invoice that she got burned. Her final work took twice as long to complete, after the client added requests to the work, and it was vastly underpriced. Of course, as a matter of honor she kept to the bottom line of the invoice, but wanted to protect herself in the future. The consultation progressed to how to protect her posters and artwork online and much more. By the end of the conversation, she realized even an artist is in business and needs legal work. An artist must negotiate many of the same things other businesspeople must negotiate. I’m referring to things like leases on workspace, commission to galleries carrying the work, price of private commissions, fees and art shows and more. What Does A Business Law Firm Do?
