#366: Weston Dombroski (Attorney and Musician) (pt. 2 of 2)

Today we released part two of our interview with Weston Dombroski. He's the Director of Legal Services at Lawyers for the Creative Arts in Chicago, where he works directly with artists and creative organizations navigating contracts, intellectual property, and organizational structure. Before that, he developed programs at lawyers-for-the-arts nonprofits, worked on legal teams at platforms such as Patreon and Discord, and helped found artist-run music co-ops. 

Weston has helped artists operate as sole proprietors, LLCs, nonprofits, cooperatives, and platform-based businesses--and he’s seen how those choices play out over time. You won't want to miss his thoughts on how artists should approach business!
