Who are we?

I am an entertainment lawyer with nearly three decades of experience in the entertainment industry. And after many years of working with entertainers of all kinds, watching the industry change, and seeing entertainers find new ways to get their names in front of the masses, I understand the industry.

I developed this website after watching emerging talent struggle with an affordable way to learn what kind of deal they are getting involved in. Many entertainers, short on funds, trust their counterparts and sign a deal they don’t fully understand with the hope of advancing their career.

And then they end up in my office bare months later because the deal isn’t working for them.

Turning to AI chatbots is a common way to hedge your bets and save legal fees. There are several problems with that approach. First, chatbots are notorious for “hallucinating,” meaning they will imply information that may not be accurate rather than admitting they don’t know the answer. You have to know what prompts to put in and you have to have a certain skillset to recognize hallucinations in the output. Second, they are generic. They have a lot of general information about a variety of topics, but they have to be trained before they can give you correct information about a specific topic. Third, many chatbots are designed to be agreeable (does your chatbot often praise you and tell you you’ve had a great idea?), so they want to tell you what you want to hear. You don’t need a yes-man. You need real information.

That’s where FaLasō comes in. My goal is to educate you so that you know when you need help. As a lawyer, I would rather help my clients build their career than clean up messes from the past.

You should ALWAYS consult a lawyer to review your contract and give you advice about how it will impact your career. No chatbot is a substitute for that. You should also understand that what you receive from FaLasō is not legal advice and doesn’t create any kind of lawyer/client relationship. But if you want help understanding how the industry works and how a particular type of deal fits into the entertainment machine, you’ve come to the right place. FaLasō will help you educate yourself. And an educated entertainer also has an edge.
