Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

As a starting point, I would recommend that you create a business plan. You can find many books at a local library on how to create such a plan. The plan will give you a better understanding of the overall cost along with what you would need to open your door and to keep it open. Also it will give you a good idea of when you should leave if the ship is sinking, before it brings your down with it.

Deciding whether to hire an attorney will depend on how informed you are with the nature of your business. I would always advice that you get an attorney at least to review your contracts, so you are more aware with the possible legal liabilities involved and potentially avoid them if you can. An accountant may understand the finances behind your business, but likely could not give you legal advice as to the possible legal liabilities and solutions (example: intellectual property ownership, employment contracts, independent contractor agreements, partnership or llc agreements etc.) Should you have additional questions, feel free to contact me or a business attorney in your area.

Kind regards,
