Two of Australia\u2019s leading entertainment lawyers have launched Hewitt Glass, a specialist Sydney firm representing major music artists, festivals, media personalities and entertainment businesses.<\/p>\n
Australia\u2019s entertainment industry has a new boutique legal player, with two of the country\u2019s best-known music and media lawyers launching Hewitt Glass, a Sydney practice focused exclusively on the business of entertainment.<\/p>\n
Managing partners Rob Glass, formerly a Christchurch NZ solicitor, (pictured) and Julian Hewitt bring more than 40 years\u2019 combined experience advising artists, executives, producers and entertainment companies on complex commercial deals, intellectual property and career-defining transactions.<\/p>\n
Collectively, they have worked on more than A$300 million worth of entertainment and media deals in the past three years alone.<\/p>\n
The firm\u2019s client roster reads more like a festival line-up than a law firm website.<\/p>\n
Among those represented are international electronic act R\u00dcF\u00dcS DU SOL, DJ Dom Dolla, singer-songwriters Matt Corby and Tones And I, pop duo The Veronicas, television personalities Abbie Chatfield and Dylan Alcott, Bluey<\/em> composer Joff Bush, together with major music festival Beyond the Valley.<\/p>\n The launch reflects the growing sophistication of Australia\u2019s entertainment sector, where artists increasingly operate as global businesses with revenue streams extending far beyond album sales or touring. Intellectual property, brand licensing, streaming rights, sponsorship agreements and international tax structures have become just as important as recording contracts.<\/p>\n For lawyers, it is another example of a broader trend towards highly specialised boutique practices that focus on building reputations around narrow industry sectors where specialist knowledge and long-term relationships carry greater weight than sheer size.<\/p>\n Entertainment law has evolved from a niche practice into one of the more dynamic corners of commercial law. As Australian artists continue to build global audiences through streaming platforms and social media, demand for advisers who understand both the creative industries and complex cross-border transactions is only likely to grow.<\/p>\n For Hewitt Glass, representing some of Australia\u2019s biggest entertainment names provides an immediate platform in a market where reputation often travels faster than advertising.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.lawfuel.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two of Australia\u2019s leading entertainment lawyers have launched Hewitt Glass, a specialist Sydney firm representing major music artists, festivals, media personalities and entertainment businesses.
