Erika Misasi
Founder & Principal Lawyer
Erika isn't a lawyer who learned about creative industries — she came from them. That dual identity as both a legal professional and a former creative is what makes Misasi Legal different.

FAQ
Questions we hear from artists, athletes, and founders
Do I actually need a lawyer, or can I just use a template?
Templates are a great starting point for simple agreements. But for anything involving real money, creative rights, or long-term partnerships, a lawyer ensures you're protected. We offer both — templates in our digital store and full legal review when you need it.
What industries does Misasi Legal specialize in?
We focus on entertainment law (especially music), sports law, intellectual property, and startup/tech law. Erika's background as a former creative means she actually understands the industries she serves — not just the legal side.
How much does it cost to work with Misasi Legal?
It depends on the scope of work. We offer one-time contract reviews, project-based support, and ongoing retainers. Book a free consultation and we'll give you a clear quote — no surprises, no hidden fees.
I'm an independent artist — can you help me?
Absolutely. Independent artists are one of our core clients. Whether you need a manager contract reviewed, help understanding your publishing splits, or protection for your music rights, we've got you covered.
Can Canadian athletes earn NIL money?
Yes — but the rules are different from the US. We help Ontario athletes understand their name, image, and likeness rights and negotiate endorsement deals that protect their interests.
How do I get started?
