Twenty years ago, Gandhar Savur had a vision for a law practice that would enrich the lives of artists by passionately protecting, defending and enabling their creations. A new kind of firm focused on artists and their art, with a mission to provide peerless service and hands-on attention to every client through each step of the legal journey. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, AND GANDHAR HAS USED HIS LAST 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO CREATE A NEW, MUSIC-FOCUSED PRACTICE WHERE PROTECTION OF MUSICIANS AND THEIR ART IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL WORK DONE.
When you work with Savur Law, you gain more than just the services of a lawyer; you bring on a partner who is vested in your success. You also gain access to Gandhar's unique set of experiences. In truth, Gandhar did not take a traditional path into the law, and this benefits every client who crosses the firm's threshold.
Prior to founding the firm in 2008, Gandhar Savur spent years slugging it out in the underground music circuit, playing in underground and DIY venues across America and the UK. His past and present experiences as a touring musician and recording artist enable him to directly relate to artists and help them overcome the challenges they face navigating the music and media industries.
Prior to starting the law firm, Gandhar also co-founded an independent record label that has released over 200 records to date by eccentric, underground tastemakers (such as WILD YAKS, VERSUS, O’DEATH and SAVAK), as well as a music publishing company which publishes hundreds of acclaimed artists, such as THE MAGNETIC FIELDS, AGAINST ME!, and FUGAZI.
This extensive background in the formation, operations and management of startup companies has provided Gandhar with a complimentary skillset in small business and corporate law, enabling Gandhar to expand his practice to include all types of companies that exist within the music space. Today, Savur Law is able to leverage this extensive experience in music, startups, corporate matters, entertainment and media to help guide clients and to protect their legal interests.
But aside from knowledge, skill, experience and credentials, ultimately it is his relationship with his clients that has led to the success of the practice, and has become the bedrock upon which the firm sits. Clients who are passionate about their art need a lawyer who is equally passionate about protecting it; they need a partner who is vested in their success. They need a lawyer who is a team member and who understands them and the challenges they face in today’s ever-changing climate. It is with this in mind that Gandhar has forged this new type of law firm, developing a practice that is both modern and creative; client focused; music-centric, oriented toward the long term careers of his clients, and with flexible billing to suit the needs of all clients in the space, spanning from developing artists to established entertainment companies. It is this unique and refined approach that sets Savur Law apart from other firms. Drop us a line and let’s talk about how we can help you.
