This is the era of entrepreneurialism. If necessity is the mother of invention, recession is the father of opportunity. The doors of opportunity have been swung wide open for so many that perhaps this era holds more venture-promise than any other. Brent has been on the edge of that adventure for thirty years. In the midst of a successful career as a touring artist, songwriter, producer and business owner, Brent stopped of at law school to round out his ability not only to accelerate his career but to engage the artist on the legal issues he saw cost so many artists through the years.

As the years progressed, Brent found himself representing clients who were in the early stages of launching business and organizational ventures, and he discovered that, especially in today's Web-driven economy, artists were entrepreneurial and entrepreneurs were artists, and that all shared very similar organizational, intellectual property and contractual issues.

Brent has spoken to hundreds of entrepreneurs: writers, painters, songwriters, musicians, business-owners, churches, tax-exempt organizations, business start-ups and others on a variety of topics including copyright, trademark, protecting business assets, contracts, launching small businesses, early-stage business issues and issues related to starting or purchasing professional practices.
