Narrative

Picture the call you do not want to get. A client's quarterly statement never arrived. Emails to the label's accounts team bounce. The main office number is disconnected. Then a journalist confirms it: went into administration yesterday.

The client has a stack of questions and no idea where to begin, about their , their advances, their , and whether they still have a label at all. Your job is to give them the order of operations: what is at risk, what they can still control, and what has to happen this week.

This is not a rare event. Music-company insolvencies happen every year, across labels and publishers of every size. The artists caught inside them rarely have a plan, which is exactly when a clear-headed adviser is worth most.
