I recently completed the Live Performance Law course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was an incredible experience. As a music venue owner in the United States, I was looking to gain a deeper understanding of the legal aspects of live performances. The course content was comprehensive and well-structured, covering topics such as contract law, copyright, and liability. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided practical examples that helped me apply the concepts to real-world scenarios. One of the most valuable takeaways for me was learning how to negotiate contracts with performers and promoters. The course materials were of high quality, and I appreciated the relevance to the US music industry. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain a solid understanding of live performance law.

I took the Live Performance Law course at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great learning experience. As a festival organizer in Brazil, I needed to brush up on my knowledge of live performance law to ensure our events are compliant with local regulations. The course covered a wide range of topics, including licensing, permits, and crowd management. I found the course materials to be informative and easy to follow, although some of the examples were more relevant to European or North American contexts. Nevertheless, I gained a solid understanding of the key concepts and was able to apply them to our festival planning. One area for improvement could be more region-specific case studies, but overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others in the live events industry.

I loved how the course covered not just the legal aspects of live performances but also the practical considerations, such as marketing, ticketing, and venue management. The course materials were top-notch, and I appreciated the inclusion of case studies from the Asian music industry. One of the most valuable takeaways for me was learning how to navigate the complex world of live performance contracts and negotiations. I'm so glad I took this course, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to break into the live music industry in Japan or beyond!

I completed the Live Performance Law course at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. As a lawyer specializing in entertainment law in South Africa, I was looking to expand my knowledge of live performance law and stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the field. The course content was detailed and well-researched, covering topics such as intellectual property, tort law, and employment law. I appreciated the instructor's use of real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts, although some of the material was more focused on European or US law. Nevertheless, I gained a deeper understanding of the complex legal issues surrounding live performances and was able to apply this knowledge to my practice. The course materials were of high quality, and I appreciated the flexibility of the online format. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their expertise in live performance law, although it would be helpful to have more region-specific content.
