Law & consulting
Clarity for artists. Strategy for culture.
I'm an admitted lawyer, currently non-practising, who has written, funded and staged the work myself. I consult with artists, organisations and government on three things.
Rights
Rights strategy
Understand your copyright, licensing and agreements before you sign. Strategy and education from someone who has been on both sides of the table, with a referral to a practising lawyer when you need formal advice.
- Who owns the composition and the recording
- Reading a licence or sync offer
- Collaboration and split conversations
- AI and training-data rights
Funding
Grants and funding
$277K+
Secured in grants and funding for my own work. I've also assessed applications as a Creative Australia peer assessor, so I know what a panel reads for.
Culture
Cultural strategy
Programming culturally diverse events that people buy tickets to. I grew a multicultural orchestral concert from 150 to 430 people in three years.
- Programs and lineups
- Artist rosters
- Inclusive design and audience demand
- Event production
- Admitted to the Supreme Court of NSW (non-practising)
- Chair, NSW Young Lawyers CET Sub-Committee
- Creative Australia peer assessor, Music
- WIPO AI Infrastructure Technical Exchange Network
- Communications & Media Law Association
- Arts Law Centre of Australia
Consulting is general information and strategy, not legal advice. Where you need formal legal advice, I refer you to a practising lawyer.
