Loren Wells is a music lawyer with an understanding and passion for the entertainment business unlike anyone I've ever met. He's also an owner and partner at Wells & Kappel, an entertainment and I.P. law firm with a focus on musical talent.

Having a good lawyer in entertainment can be the single biggest piece of getting signed, and getting the best record deal possible.
