Music Law

Hi, I'm Chip.

Howdy! I hope to be your trusted partner in the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry. Based in the usually beautiful Denver, I bring a wealth of experience garnered from my tenure at Warner Music Group UK and my law practice in Colorado and Minnesota. With a passion for nurturing talent and fostering fruitful collaborations, I specialize in negotiating: recording, synchronization, and licensing contracts; as well as booking gigs and promoting for artists across diverse genres. As both a skilled music lawyer and artist manager, I have had the privilege of working with talented artists in prominent music hubs such as LA, NYC, London, Nashville, Minneapolis, Austin, and Denver.

I take pride in providing personalized consulting services tailored to the unique needs of each artist I represent, ensuring their creative vision is both protected and amplified in today's dynamic music landscape.
