Corner Soul is a boutique legal, management and advisory firm dedicated to the creative industries. Led by Howard Adams and Troy Barrott, we help creatives and their teams protect, commercialise, scale, and manage their art and their businesses.
Most of our clients arrive with something worth protecting, be it a catalogue, a body of work, a brand, a piece of technology, or an enterprise they’ve built from nothing. We make sure it is structured to last and built to grow, whether that involves registering and enforcing IP rights, negotiating deals, guiding corporate decisions, or handling disputes.
Our careers have been spent within the industries we now advise, and we bring decades of combined experience in the arts and commercial law to every matter. We understand the holistic impact of each matter on our client’s careers and businesses. Our mission is to provide accessible, practical, first-rate advice that is practical from the outset and sound over the long term.
We believe first-rate advice should be accessible to as much of the sector as possible. Our fee structures are transparent and commercially realistic for artists and creative businesses at every stage, because we’d rather grow alongside an act than price ourselves out of their corner. When a matter calls for specialist counsel or overseas support, we brief and manage it through a network developed over years in these industries.
