We recognise our responsibility under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 to act ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. We are dedicated to implementing and enforcing systems and controls that ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our operations or in those of our suppliers, contractors or partners.
2. Our Business and Structure
AMS Administration Ltd is a UK-registered company (Company No. 08951774) based at Park Place, Robey Close, Linby, Nottinghamshire NG15 8AA.
Through MusicLegal.co.uk, we provide professional consultancy, support and guidance to musicians, creative professionals, and industry organisations across the United Kingdom.
Our services include music law support, artist management consultancy, contract assistance and partnership coordination with carefully vetted third-party professionals.
Although we operate within a low-risk sector for modern slavery, we acknowledge that no business is immune from potential exploitation, particularly where subcontractors, suppliers or partner organisations are involved.

Our commitment is to:
- Conduct business in a manner that respects human rights.
- Ensure transparency in our own operations and those of our supply chain.

- Freelance creatives and contractors.
We expect all our suppliers and partners to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to maintain appropriate policies and procedures that ensure safe, fair and lawful working conditions.
Where new suppliers or contractors are engaged, we conduct checks to ensure they operate ethically and comply with all relevant employment and human rights laws.
5. Due Diligence and Risk Management
We take proportionate steps to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain. These include:
