Testimonials

"Alex brought much needed experience and insight to a complicated contract negotiation with the composer of our documentary film.  She navigated multiple personalities to craft a rights agreement that satisfied all parties, and all for a very reasonable fee! I will most certainly be working with her again in the future."

"Alex has been an incredible asset to the MN Music Coalition. The expertise that Alex has in the world of copyright, trademark and entertainment law has been crucial to serving musicians across the state of Minnesota. Her background as a composer gives her an additional perspective as a creator that is invaluable in communicating with fellow composers and musicians. Alex is easy to work with and incredibly responsive. Look forward to continuing to work with Alex in the future."

-Tom Loftus, Minnesota Music Coalition

"Alex Mueller has recently advised me on the spiderweb that is copyright law. In today's world, where understanding this aspect of business for a performing musician is so important, she made it very clear to me and came up with various solutions, so I couldn't recommend her enough."

-Dunja, creative violinist

"Alex Mueller has proven herself time and time again to be a brilliant, effective, and efficient attorney for not only our nonprofit, but also in providing contract work and consulting on a feature documentary that we are currently in production with. In the entertainment industry, it is rare to find someone you can repeatedly count on to come through for you, do consistent and quality work and even know what you need before you do."

-Stephen Letnes

Composer

Executive Director at Able Artists Foundation

"I initially contacted Alex because I needed some help negotiating with a [filmmaker] client about ownership rights versus licensing, the finer points of which I was not completely confident in explaining, let alone handling a conversation with my client's lawyer on the subject. Alex was patient and knowledgeable enough in the subject to not only put it into understandable terms for me, but also to ensure that the language was clear in the contract she drafted for me and offered to be directly involved in the conversation if necessary to explain my position to the filmmaker.  The entire time, Alex was professional, swift to respond, and extremely courteous. It's extremely reassuring to know that I have reliable and trustworthy representation at the ready."

-Tyler, film and television composer

"I referred an Entertainment Law client to Alex, and I can tell she really knows her way around recording contracts, and the other various types of entertainment-related contracts, and that she knows how to protect an artist's rights to their created material. I would not hesitate to refer to her again."

-Alan Lanners, attorney
Lanners & Olson P.A.

"I have engaged Ms. Mueller professionally to review and analyze intellectual property rights licensing and written permissions required for a series of music-based videos for digital distribution in the children's educational marketplace. Ms. Mueller's services were thorough and detailed. She submitted a formal written report that included a legal risk assessment which was of significant value in preparing the videos for distribution. Ms. Mueller has published a number of articles with respect to intellectual property rights including one that is an invaluable overview of the confusing Music Modernization Act. She is proficient in many areas of transaction law and has a keen sense of her clients' business needs. I recommend her as a valuable member of any team that engages her. "

"Alexandria Mueller's copyright presentation covers a broad, complex topic with the thoroughness of an attorney and the sensitivity of a performing artist. She made the subject accessible to a broad cross-section of artists in many disciplines, and took time to answer individual questions from them. Highly recommended!"

-Andy Sturdevant, Artist Resources Director at Springboard for the Arts

"Alex's presentations of music law and intellectual property with my students were the highlights of our semester. Her knowledge of the law, particularly as it relates to young musicians, is evident. And her ability to communicate basic concepts, coupled with her strong background as a musician and composer, provided insights that my students greatly appreciated. I look forward to future visits."
