15 - Dan Wasser - a podcast by Ken Davenport

Dan Wasser has a combination of extensive entertainment law experience and a background in corporate and securities law that enables him to work with clients on a broad range of business and legal issues. In addition to counseling clients as part of the firm’s theatrical practice, Dan also works with entertainment industry clients in connection with matters such as mergers and acquisitions and employment agreement for senior executives in public and private companies.
It’s a fascinating time in the legal world of Broadway shows, particularly in the area of how money is raised for Broadway shows. That’s why I picked one of the experts in our industry on financing for this episode, Daniel M. Wasser of Franklin, Weinrib, Rudell & Vassallo!
I’ve worked with Dan for over a decade, and he has given me some fantastic advice over the years. But one of my favorites is this ol’ chestnut about what an attorney’s actual function is. In other words, they’ve got your back if you’re a massive hit or a massive flop.

Listen to some more of Dan’s advice on this episode, like:

When a Producer should hire an attorney.

Could the movie model of paying artists work on Broadway?

The most important part of any negotiation.

The 3 Ways the JOBS Act could revolutionize Broadway fundraising.

This section of the episode is perhaps the most comprehensive explanation of the JOBS Act including crowdfunding and how it relates to us out there.
