Music Law

Leonard Lowy & Co. specialises in all aspects of the music industry. With many years’ music industry experience both “in-house” and in private practice, Leonard offers sensible, pro-active, effective legal and business affairs advice and assistance, quickly, competently and economically.

Band Agreements

Arguably the most important contract a successful band will ever sign is the one between its own members. Surprising, then, that organising one is so often overlooked, even by lawyers busying themselves negotiating lucrative recording, publishing and other deals for their clients.

Starting Out

We can help you start your own music industry business. Where do you start? What do you want to do? Set up a label? Run a publishing company? Manage artists or producers?

Business Law

We undertake a wide spectrum of legal services for business. Our business clients range from start-ups to substantial entrepreneurs and companies, both in the UK and overseas. They include clients in the media sector, and in a wide range of other sectors and industries.

About Us

Leonard Lowy & Co. was set up by Leonard Lowy in January 1999 after a varied career as a partner in a West End firm of media solicitors, a number of years as in-house Legal Director at a major record and music company and a successful spell in artist management.

Leonard’s front-line record company and artist management background enables the firm to offer practical and pro-active solutions in the music field, born of first hand experience.

The firm has a simple aim: to provide high quality legal and business advice at an affordable price.

The day to day work of the firm involves, on the music side, advising individual and corporate clients on all aspects of their involvement in the world of music and, on the general business side, providing expert advice and dealing with commercial transactions, affairs and situations of all kinds, whatever the nature of the business.

“I have known Leonard for many years. He was legal counsel at Island Records and ultimately returned to private practice. He has since represented my companies on many occasions, always with great results. I trust his advice completely and have never been let down by him. I have always found his billing and fees to be very reasonable and would highly recommend his services to anyone.”

Chris Blackwell

Founder, Island Records

“I first met Leonard 28 years ago as I started out on my journey to make sense of and make good of the music industry. He’s guided me and 3 Beat from that day onwards. He’s perfect for us. He gets deals done. He has constantly protected our business. I’ve always had absolute confidence in his legal advice which has been integral to our growth and success.”

Jon Barlow

Managing Director, 3 Beat

“Having been in music publishing biz now for more than 35 years – first at Island Music & then building Fairwood Music into a worldwide creative force – I have worked closely with Leonard on numerous occasions and have always found him a pleasure to work with being personable, deal creative, achieving great results within a reasonable budget. I could not recommend Leonard highly enough.”
