The practice of entertainment law is quite broad. It includes litigators, estate planners, tax professionals, in-house counsel and deal makers - entrepreneurial lawyers who facilitate business deals. The functions of agents, managers and entrepreneurial entertainment lawyers often overlap. These functions are not easily distinguishable. Personal managers are given powers-of-attorney and function much like a lawyer. They counsel their artists on business and career matters and enter into contracts on their behalf. Agents, who must be licensed in most states, endeavor to procure employment for the artist. The licensing requirement and the narrow definition of their job induces some agents to broaden their involvement and income by becoming agent or managers. Lawyers are often positioned to assume all these roles, as representative, counselor and attorney-in-fact.
