SHOULD I RETAIN AN ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER IN NIGERIA?

After all , I only do one offs and I might not need the lawyer services every time ? This is the mindset of some creatives and Entertainment business professionals in Nigeria.

The big question is , would you rather have a family doctor that attends to all your issues within a budget agreed upon or would you prefer to pay a doctor every-time you have a medical issue regardless of the fluctuations in prices or medical services or drugs ?

Prevention they say is better than cure . Entertainment lawyers in Nigeria are not only needed when disputes or issues arise. Entertainment lawyers are in-fact retained so that issues don’t arise . They give proper legal advise and help you negotiate properly to prevent avoidable issues .

Having an entertainment lawyer in Nigeria on retainer is beneficial to creatives and entertainment entities because

a) it reduces the cost of the legal services on the client
b) enables faster dispensation of services
c) quicker access to the attorney
d) access to the client’s network of creatives and entertainment business professionals
e) proper communication of issues between parties as client is treated as priority .

Among other numerous benefits

I HAVE A LAWYER, DO I STILL NEED AN ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER IN NIGERIA?

Let’s take a look at things this way. There are general doctors, and then there are specialty doctors.

If a lady goes to a doctor and the issues discovered are significantly related to her body, she is referred to a gynecologist. This is not because the doctor does not have working knowledge of what to administer to the lady but because the gynecologist has superior knowledge and that is their area of specialization. Same goes for a man with eye problem or a sick child on consultation with a doctor, the man will be referred to an ophthalmologist who is an expert in treatment of eyes and the child to Pediatricians who is an expert in child treatment.

Only specialists can effectively and efficiently tackle the health issue discovered more than the general doctors.

Same thing goes for lawyers and entertainment lawyers in Nigeria. While Lawyers have general knowledge of the issues, entertainment lawyers in Nigeria are the specialists in the entertainment field that can treat the issue more effectively and efficiently and it is advised they are contacted to handle all issues in the Entertainment industry for higher success rate.

Under the pre incorporation stage of a start up , another key thing is to sort out the ownership structure . What does the founders get , what roles do they play , what is their shares percentage .

This is very key at the early stage of the startup so founders and the early employees know what's in for them and everyone is aware of their stake in the startup

6. NETWORKING


It is not what you know but who you know that matters at times . In this regard, an entertainment lawyer can be useful for making introductions for their clients to other prominent stakeholders in the entertainment industry like managers, agents, promoters , accountants, Licensing agencies , investors etc

Networking is perhaps one of the most important skills in the entertainment industry and having a lawyer aids in knowing who to network with or not in line with proper legal advise from the entertainment lawyer .

Having an entertainment lawyer in Nigeria means you also get to interact with their clients and network for growth . Clients can meet up in meetings , shows, parties or whenever a need for their services arise by the other clients of the entertainment lawyer in Nigeria .

7.LITIGATION


It is worthy of note that issues are bound to arise during transactions , deals and interactions with other creatives or businesses within the Entertainment industry . There are some issues that cannot be Effectively resolved with negotiation and mediation .As such , these issues get to the court of law and you will need the services of an Entertainment lawyer in Nigeria conversant with intellectual property law to have a headway in the suit .

Entertainment Law is a niche field and a regular lawyer cannot have proper insight on the issues like an entertainment lawyer will .An entertainment lawyer in Nigeria has all proper insights and knowledge to help you succeed in a lawsuit pertaining to intellectual property and entertainment in Nigeria.

WE HAVE A MANAGER , PA , AGENT , DO WE STILL NEED AN ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER IN NIGERIA ?


Creatives and entertainment business professionals often focus their efforts on getting representation through a manager , PA or agent as they believe that having a manager or agent can take the place of having an Entertainment lawyer in Nigeria .

The truth however is legal language and clauses can be quite tricky and there are some aspects of regulations in Nigeria pertaining to the entertainment industry that a manager , PA or agent cannot properly interpret or oversee . This is the duty of an entertainment lawyer and neither the PA , manager or agent have the legal expertise or experience of an entertainment lawyer in Nigeria to oversee pertinent legal dynamics in the entertainment industry of Nigeria .
