Multiple Rights & 360 Deals: What Are They?
360 Record Deal Mock Negotiation
on Thursday, July 19, 2012 in Houston
These experts come together to give you the inside track on major deal points, what they mean and what leverage you have to negotiate the best possible deal.
Most people think they can just hand a negotiation to a lawyer, and leave it at that. But as a professional, you need to be aware of the process and deal points, too, and what the short- and long-term implications to your artists' careers may be.
Most importantly, you will see HOW a 360 deal is negotiated and be involved in the process.
Get educated about the art of deal-making!

Leslie Warren Cross, Jr., Esq.
The Cross Firm, P.C. was established in June 1997. Its slogan is “Your Vision - Our Passion” and that phrase perfectly captures our story. The Firm started out representing individuals and small businesses that no one else took seriously and that other lawyers did not want to represent. As a Law Firm, we could relate to our early clients, because no one was taking us seriously either. Says the firm’s founder Leslie Warren Cross, Jr., Esq., “I still remember my clients confirming that the Cross Firm would be representing their interests and the opposing side responding with ‘who?’ or ‘So what!’ or ‘Never heard of them.’ What our early opponents failed to realize, until it was too late for most of them, was our belief that their Goliath was entering into the ring with our David.” Since then, the Cross Firm has engaged in hundreds of transactions in and outside the entertainment arena. We have represented the interests of Platinum and Gold Artists as well as Producers, Independent Labels, Managers, Authors, Concert Promoters, Publishers, successful small and mid-size businesses of all types, Entrepreneurs and investors, as well as those who have the need for wisdom and protection in their individual matters. For our firm, no vision is too small to serve and protect.
