Our Lawyers

Our Team…

The team of Shrum & Associates consists of creators and musicians at heart.  Like most brothers in the 70’s, Mr. Shrum and his brothers formed a band in which Mr. Shrum was the drummer.  Mr. Hicks is a fellow drummer, with a degree in music theory and composition.  They have dedicated their careers to defending creators and songwriters and helping them license, monetize and exploit their intellectual creations.
