Over Labor Day weekend, ARS Counsel was proud to sponsor An Evening of Purpose in Las Vegas, hosted by Ibiere Seck and Seck Law.

The evening brought together Black lawyers and other professionals to recognize people whose work is making an impact in their professions and communities.

One message from the evening especially stayed with us: the importance of coming together when we are not grieving.

So often, we gather in response to loss. An Evening of Purpose created space to do something different, to recognize people while they are still here, still doing the work, and still making a difference.

Celebrating one another isn’t a luxury. It’s part of how we strengthen our communities and keep going.

Thank you to Ibiere and Seck Law, P.C. - Ibiere Seck, Trial Lawyer for creating such a meaningful evening. We were honored to be part of it!

What happens when AI becomes part of the hiring decision?

That’s one of the questions at the center of Mobley v. Workday, a closely watched employment discrimination lawsuit involving allegations that AI-powered applicant screening tools discriminated against job seekers based on protected characteristics.

In June, a federal judge allowed significant portions of the case to move forward. Workday denies the allegations, and the company has not been found liable.

But the case raises an important issue for both employers and employees:

Using technology doesn’t eliminate an employer’s responsibility to comply with anti-discrimination laws.

As AI becomes increasingly involved in screening, scoring and ranking applicants, employers should understand how these tools make decisions, and applicants should know that their employment rights don’t disappear simply because an algorithm is involved.

You told your employer you were pregnant.

Then things changed.

Your responsibilities were reduced.
You stopped being included in meetings.
Your performance suddenly became a “problem.”
A promotion disappeared.
Your manager started questioning whether you could still handle the job.

A change in treatment after announcing a pregnancy doesn’t automatically mean discrimination occurred, but the timing and circumstances can matter.

Pay attention. Keep records. Save emails and messages. And know that pregnant employees have legal protections in the workplace.

What is your music catalog actually worth?

The answer isn’t as simple as looking at last year’s royalties and applying a standard multiple.

A music catalog valuation can depend on everything from publishing income and master recordings to performance royalties, sync potential, revenue consistency, and the longevity of the music itself.

And two catalogs earning the same amount today may have very different long-term values.

Our latest blog breaks down the factors that can influence music catalog valuation and what artists, songwriters, and rights holders should understand before considering a sale.

You don’t have to wait until you’re fired to take workplace discrimination seriously.

Pregnancy discrimination can potentially affect promotions, assignments, hours, accommodations, performance reviews, opportunities, discipline and, yes, termination.

If your treatment at work changed after you announced your pregnancy, requested an accommodation, or took protected leave, start paying attention to the details.

What changed? When did it change? What was said? Is there documentation?

Understanding your rights early can matter.

🎬 The concert may end. The opportunity doesn’t have to.

Concert films are becoming an increasingly important part of the entertainment landscape and artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are showing just how far a live experience can extend beyond the stage.

As Billboard recently explored, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour changed the conversation around what concert films can accomplish, while Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé brought one of the world’s biggest tours to audiences far beyond the cities Beyoncé visited in person.

And the opportunity goes beyond box office revenue.

Concert films can help artists reach new audiences, connect with fans in markets they may not tour, generate merchandise sales, test demand in potential future tour markets, and create another experience around the work they’ve already built.

For artists and their teams, it’s another reminder that creative work can have a much longer life than its original release, performance, or tour.

The more ways that work can be distributed, licensed, experienced, and monetized, the more important it becomes to understand who owns what and to make sure the agreements behind those opportunities protect the artist’s interests.

Because creating the work is only part of the equation.

Protecting its value matters, too.

Black Business Month is a reminder that investing in Black businesses goes beyond making a purchase.

It’s choosing collaboration.
It’s creating opportunities.
It’s opening doors.
It’s protecting the businesses that are building tomorrow.

Whether you’re launching your first company or growing an established brand, investing in the legal side of your business is investing in its future.

This month, we celebrate the entrepreneurs turning bold ideas into lasting impact, and we’re proud to stand beside them.

Selling your music catalog can provide financial opportunities, but it’s also one of the biggest business decisions an artist can make.

Before signing any agreement, it’s important to understand:

✔️ What rights you’re actually selling
✔️ How the deal may affect future royalties
✔️ Whether you’re giving up creative control
✔️ The long-term impact on your career and legacy

A large upfront payment isn’t the only factor to consider. The right decision depends on your goals, your catalog, and your future.

In our latest blog, we break down what every artist should know before selling their music catalog.
