The Belmont Entertainment Law Journal presents their annual symposium, which focuses on the impact that money has on the modern-day entertainment industry. For athletes and musicians, the way that these individuals make money has changed rapidly over the past decade. We will hear from experts in the legal fields of sports and music about the many changes in revenue streams, contract negotiations, and general legal representation of artists and athletes in these industries.
