Getting signed by a record label can feel like a career-changing moment. But before celebrating, make sure you understand exactly what you're agreeing to.

A 360 deal in music can give a record label a share of more than just your music sales. Depending on the agreement, the label may also participate in your:

▪️Touring and live performance income.
▪️Merchandise sales.
▪️Music publishing royalties.
▪️Brand endorsements and sponsorships.
▪️Other entertainment-related revenue.

But does that mean every 360 deal is bad for artists? Not necessarily. The real question is whether the label's investment and support justify the percentage of income it wants in return.

In our latest article, Nina Ameri explains what artists should look out for before signing a 360 record deal, including recoupment terms, revenue sharing, ownership rights, and contract negotiations.

Remember: A record deal should be a partnership, not a giveaway.

Before signing away a portion of your career, understand what you're giving up and what you're getting in return.

Creators, influencers, and entrepreneurs spend countless hours building their brands, developing content, and pursuing new opportunities. But here's an important question: Are you protecting what you're building?

Waiting until a deal goes wrong or a dispute arises can leave you with fewer options and unnecessary expenses.

Proactive legal planning can make all the difference.

In our latest blog, Nina Ameri shares why having an entertainment lawyer involved early can help creators:

▪️Protect their intellectual property and personal brands.
▪️Make informed decisions before signing business contracts.
▪️Navigate partnerships, sponsorships, and negotiations.
▪️Identify potential legal risks before launching new projects.
▪️Build a stronger foundation for long-term business growth.

Don't wait for a legal crisis to start thinking about your next move.

Most people focus on the beginning of a contract. I always pay close attention to the end.

A termination clause determines how the relationship can end if things don't go as planned. It sets the rules for who can terminate the agreement, when they can do it, how much notice is required, and what happens to payments, rights, and obligations afterward.

I've reviewed many agreements where one party had multiple ways to exit the deal, while the other was locked in indefinitely. That's not a balanced agreement.

Before you sign, make sure you understand your way out. A well-drafted termination clause can save you time, money, and a lot of headaches down the road.

One of my favorite Halloween traditions is attending the ProVisors Wolf Pack Halloween Howler! 🎃 It’s always so fun to see all of my friends get out of their professional clothes and put on a fun costume.

This year, everybody went all out! My favorite costumes included the United Airlines flight attendants, the In-N-Out workers, and, of course, my Top Gun crew. ✈️😎

Nothing better than celebrating Halloween with great friends who know how to have fun!

Happy Halloween! 👻

Horror has evolved from silent shadows and iconic monsters to unforgettable franchises, remakes, and streaming hits. But behind every terrifying story is a legal foundation that helps bring it to life. 🎬🕸️

Adaptation rights, talent agreements, music licenses, chain of title, distribution, and sequel rights can all play an important role in protecting a production.

After all, behind every scream is an agreement, and the scariest legal issue is the one you never saw coming.

Don’t let legal issues haunt your production. Ameri Law is here to help protect your creative work.

🎃 The scariest part of a brand deal isn't always in the brief. It's often buried in the contract.

A broad exclusivity clause could block future opportunities. An automatic renewal could keep you locked in longer than expected. A work-for-hire provision could impact who owns the content you create.

The real horror story? Finding out what those clauses mean after you've already signed.

👻 Swipe through to uncover five contract terms that every creator should understand before agreeing to a brand partnership.

A brand deal should help build your career, not haunt it.

👻 Not every scary thing shows up in October.

Some of the most frightening language in a creator contract can be hidden in everyday clauses like "in perpetuity," "worldwide rights," or "all media now known or later developed."

What looks like standard legal language could give away far more rights than you intended.

Before signing your next brand deal, take a closer look at what you're actually agreeing to. Your content, likeness, and future opportunities may depend on it.

Swipe through to see four contract provisions that can come back to haunt creators long after the campaign ends.

This month, we celebrate the seven-year anniversary of Ameri Law.

When I founded this firm seven years ago, I knew I wanted to build something different: a place where clients are treated like family, where communication matters, and where we help people not just for a moment, but throughout their journey.

I also envisioned creating an environment where future employees would feel valued, respected, and cared for.

As I reflect on the past seven years, I’m grateful for how much of that vision has become a reality. We've built meaningful long-term relationships, assembled an incredible team, and had the privilege of helping so many amazing clients.

And while I'm proud of what we've accomplished, I'm even more excited for what comes next as we continue to grow and scale.

Here's to the next chapter of Ameri Law. 🥂
