Since majority of us are home during this pandemic, we'll have enough time to be educated on entertainment law! Earlier this year we heard Meg Tha Stallion complain about her recording contract and how she was unaware of what she signed. Well today we sit down with Desiree Talley an New York City Entertainment Lawyer as we discuss why it's important to read before you sign! Desiree shares how her love for music, growing up in the bay and wanted to protect her people catapulted her into becoming a entertainment lawyer and starting her own law firm. She teaches us about owning your intellectual property, how to go about getting an entertainment lawyer, her experiences as a lawyer and the common sense that's just not so common.
