Recovering Music Rights Without Litigation

The music industry offers immense opportunities for investors, but it also comes with complex legal challenges. From publishing agreements to rights acquisitions, even the most carefully drafted contracts can lead to disputes.

Protecting Investments in the Music Industry

Recently, our team successfully represented an investor client in a dispute arising from a music rights acquisition agreement. By combining deep industry knowledge with strategic negotiations, we achieved a favorable outcome that preserved the client’s assets and avoided costly litigation.

Rights Promised but Undelivered

Our client, a private investor, had entered into an agreement to acquire certain valuable musical composition rights. These rights were intended to form a key part of the client’s portfolio. However, complications arose when the counterparty failed to deliver assets owed under the terms of the agreement.

Left unresolved, the matter could have forced the client into litigation—an expensive, time-consuming process with no guaranteed outcome.

Strategic Negotiation in Music Acquisition

Instead of rushing into court, KR Law pursued a targeted negotiation strategy. Our attorneys closely reviewed the contractual language, identified leverage points, and engaged directly with the counterparty to enforce the client’s contractual rights.

This approach allowed us to:

• Establish the client’s clear legal entitlement to the disputed assets.

• Present a persuasive case for resolution without litigation.

• Keep the negotiations constructive and commercially focused.

Through expert negotiation, our attorneys secured the return of the musical composition assets owed to our client. Most importantly, this resolution spared the investor from having to spend tens of thousands of dollars in litigation expenses.
