You told your employer you were pregnant.

Then things changed.

Your responsibilities were reduced.
You stopped being included in meetings.
Your performance suddenly became a “problem.”
A promotion disappeared.
Your manager started questioning whether you could still handle the job.

A change in treatment after announcing a pregnancy doesn’t automatically mean discrimination occurred, but the timing and circumstances can matter.

Pay attention. Keep records. Save emails and messages. And know that pregnant employees have legal protections in the workplace.

What is your music catalog actually worth?

The answer isn’t as simple as looking at last year’s royalties and applying a standard multiple.

A music catalog valuation can depend on everything from publishing income and master recordings to performance royalties, sync potential, revenue consistency, and the longevity of the music itself.

And two catalogs earning the same amount today may have very different long-term values.

Our latest blog breaks down the factors that can influence music catalog valuation and what artists, songwriters, and rights holders should understand before considering a sale.

You don’t have to wait until you’re fired to take workplace discrimination seriously.

Pregnancy discrimination can potentially affect promotions, assignments, hours, accommodations, performance reviews, opportunities, discipline and, yes, termination.

If your treatment at work changed after you announced your pregnancy, requested an accommodation, or took protected leave, start paying attention to the details.

What changed? When did it change? What was said? Is there documentation?

Understanding your rights early can matter.

🎬 The concert may end. The opportunity doesn’t have to.

Concert films are becoming an increasingly important part of the entertainment landscape and artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are showing just how far a live experience can extend beyond the stage.

As Billboard recently explored, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour changed the conversation around what concert films can accomplish, while Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé brought one of the world’s biggest tours to audiences far beyond the cities Beyoncé visited in person.

And the opportunity goes beyond box office revenue.

Concert films can help artists reach new audiences, connect with fans in markets they may not tour, generate merchandise sales, test demand in potential future tour markets, and create another experience around the work they’ve already built.

For artists and their teams, it’s another reminder that creative work can have a much longer life than its original release, performance, or tour.

The more ways that work can be distributed, licensed, experienced, and monetized, the more important it becomes to understand who owns what and to make sure the agreements behind those opportunities protect the artist’s interests.

Because creating the work is only part of the equation.

Protecting its value matters, too.

Selling your music catalog can provide financial opportunities, but it’s also one of the biggest business decisions an artist can make.

Before signing any agreement, it’s important to understand:

✔️ What rights you’re actually selling
✔️ How the deal may affect future royalties
✔️ Whether you’re giving up creative control
✔️ The long-term impact on your career and legacy

A large upfront payment isn’t the only factor to consider. The right decision depends on your goals, your catalog, and your future.

In our latest blog, we break down what every artist should know before selling their music catalog.

Ownership creates opportunity.

Creating something valuable is only the first step.

At ARS Counsel, we’re honored to help Black entrepreneurs protect their intellectual property, negotiate confidently, and create legal foundations that support long-term growth.

Because your vision deserves more than recognition. It deserves protection.

Why are so many artists selling their music catalogs right now?

It’s about more than a big payday.

Streaming has changed the long-term value of music. Investment firms are actively seeking music rights. And for some artists, a catalog sale can be part of a larger strategy around diversification, estate planning, and legacy.

But increased demand doesn’t mean every deal is a good deal.

Before selling, artists need to understand exactly what they own, what they’re giving up, and what those rights could be worth in the future.

We break down what’s driving the rise in music catalog sales and what creators should know before considering one. Learn more from our latest blog at the link in our bio!

The Apple v. OpenAI trade secret battle is getting more complicated.

After Apple accused OpenAI and former employees of misappropriating confidential information, OpenAI is pushing back with communications it says challenge Apple’s version of events, including messages showing Apple employees continuing to seek technical input from a former colleague after he left the company.

The case raises an important question for businesses:

Are your actual practices around confidential information as strong as the protections written into your policies?

Trade secret protection doesn’t end when an employee leaves. Clear offboarding procedures, consistent confidentiality practices, employee training, and boundaries around communication with former employees all matter.

Our latest blog looks at the new developments in Apple v. OpenAI, and what employers, employees, and companies hiring from competitors can learn from them.
