Future Music Attorneys Panels
Future Music Attorneys launched in 2011. Over the years, we’ve had 22 panel discussions featuring 30 lawyers to speak with our students about law and the music space.
We’ve covered various topics such as “Establishing Yourself As A Music Lawyer,” “Music Lawyers, Entrepreneurship & Building A Brand,” and “What Is A Music Lawyer?” Additionally, we’ve covered the role of intellectual property in the music space as well as a few important deals that music lawyers work with.
FMA kicked off their 6th year on January 27, 2016!
Georgia Music Partners (a Georgia not-for-profit 501(c)(6) corporation) exists because we believe that music matters to the people of Georgia – in our communities, in our schools, and in our economy. Our mission is to help Georgia’s music industry grow to become one of the country’s biggest and best, which promotes both job growth and culture in our state. We believe this is an exciting cause worth focusing on, as it fuses arts, sciences and business in a unique manner that impacts multiple silos in our marketplace.
GMP’s objectives for 2017 and 2018 are as follows:
-
Generate national PR exposure and begin targeted business development in order to promote GA’s Music Investment Act’s use nationally to industry stakeholders.
-
Develop workforce readiness “best practices” in collaboration with schools and universities to help students chart the path to gainful employment in the local music industry.
-
Continue government relations and advocacy work with elected officials, acting as the intermediary between our Members and Georgia’s Legislators.
