Run It By Legal™

Legal Service Plan for Podcasters

What if you had your very own In-House Counsel on call to answer your questions, provide you with the forms, contracts, and legal support to run your podcast business confidently?

If you are a podcaster and you're struggling to get the business and legal side(s) of things handled, this is for you...

  • You're making content.
  • You're using content.
  • You're collaborating with co-producers, co-hosts, guests and sponsors.
  • You're creating valuable intellectual property assets
  • You're promoting products, selling advertising and generally...
  • You're doing business.

Guess what?  You're a media business!

Big media companies have lawyers.

They have them on staff.

And they have outside law firms to back them up.  

But all that costs a fortune, doesn't it?

Startups and small businesses have been priced out of that kind of support.

That level of strategic and legal support is simply out of reach.

So you “go bare” without the coverage you need. You just have to take the risk.

Not anymore!

I’m Gordon Firemark, and I’m a lawyer.

I’ve been helping businesses and individuals in the entertainment and media industries for nearly thirty years.  I’ve worked with major entertainment brands, as well as small, low budget independents, helping them craft solutions to the most common legal and business issues that confront them.

 

By a podcaster, for podcasters. 

I’m also a podcaster.  I actually came to the law after a career in media production.  So I know and understand these issues from the inside out.  And I recognize how challenging it can be for small business owners to access the legal services, documents, and strategy that their larger counterparts get from in-house counsel and outside law firms.

 

From the lawyer who literally wrote the book on Podcast Law

When I started podcasting in the mid 2000's,  I began exploring the legal and business-affairs issues that arise in that medium, and I wasn’t surprised to learn that they’re fundamentally the same as the issues faced by Big Media.  But, unless you’re a lawyer like me, you don’t have access to the release forms, host service agreements, advertising deal templates and the specialized legal knowledge and information needed to navigate  things successfully.  So, I wrote an e-book called The Podcast, Blog & New Media Producer’s Legal Survival Guide.  That book goes a long way  to shed some light on these kinds of issues.

But a book isn’t a substitute for actual, legal representation.  In fact, using forms from a book or that you find on the internet,  can actually increase your risk in some situations.  And that’s why my book doesn’t include forms.  I don’t want you taking those kinds of risks.

That’s why I’ve created an affordable legal service plan, just for podcasters like you.

 

In Big Media, whenever a question arises, or a new deal is in the works, they Run It By Legal™.

And now, you can do the same.
