DASbusiness for Musicians – Legal Expense Insurance Program

Most recently, Christopher worked with DAS Canada to develop and launch a unique Legal Expense Insurance Policy for the Canadian Music Community including Performers, Songwriters, Composers and Musicians that offers:

• Unlimited Telephone Legal Advice – 7 days a week from 8 am to 12 midnight
• Legal Defence for alleged criminal offenses including the Highway Traffic Act
• Contract Dispute and Debt Recovery support for goods and services bought or sold
• Tax Audit and Tax Appeal support and preparation

Why? Because Christopher knows from first hand experience that:

Situations can and do arise unexpectedly in the Music Business!
How would you and your band benefit from...

Unlimited Telephone Legal Advice

• A band would like some legal advice about a contract that is being offered to them.
• A band member wants some legal advice on a "distracted driver" ticket he received while on tour in Alberta.

Contract Disputes and Debt Recovery

• A self-employed musician has a contract with a venue stating that he will receive a specific percentage of revenue from the show. The venue does not pay him the appropriate amount and the musician wants to take legal action.
• A group wins "Battle of the Bands" and is told they will receive recording time with a well-known Artist, however the Artist is now refusing his services.
• A band purchases sound equipment that does not work to the standard that was promised. The manufacturer refuses to repair the equipment.

Legal Defence

• A band is playing in a bar when a fight breaks out. A band member jumps into the fray and is charged with assault.
• The Tour Manager on tour with a band is driving in another province and receives a speeding ticket that he wants to fight.

Tax Protection

• An Artist has received a notice of a Tax Audit.

Having a DASbusiness for Musicians Policy gives you a 1-800 number to call for help with problems like these 7 days a week for 1 year, for less than the cost of 1 hour of a Lawyer's time! It's like a CAA card for legal problems!
