Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'Sound Advice is a boutique practice that specialises in music law and brings through talented young lawyers to meet our commercial business affairs and legal needs. In an industry that can be feast or famine for clients, their billing is very fair - it takes account of the commercial value of a deal and/or the intellectual complexity of it. So an artist in development where there is very little revenue they help in the early stages with low billing, but charge reasonable sums for more complex, bigger deals with an established artist at a later stage.'
'Robert Horsfall is the founder of the firm, he is very experienced and well connected; using his connections and knowledge to go above and beyond what one would expect from a commercial lawyer in the sector. His knowledge has definitely enhanced some of the deals that we have done over the years and we have been pleased to work with Robert for over 10 years.'
