Bio
Jim Harper
It's hard to tell if Loren has a greater passion for law or music. He knows how so many parts of the music industry work, and how they can benefit an artist or a label, that he can flawlessly work for anyone. We initially asked Loren to help with a few standard contracts. Within a few months, Loren was helping us build a record label from scratch. What were initially roadblocks for us, became challenges for Loren, that he personally figured out and helped us conquer. Within a few months, we had bands, press and even distribution options. We simply refuse to advance the label, without Loren's help.

Loren is a great attorney. He always delivers results, on time, and with nothing but intelligent, professional advice along the way. Looking forward to continuing a positive and valuable professional relationship for years to come.
