  Family Ties Taint McLachlan Expert Witness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Lawyer Jonathan Simkin said Bill Henderson's opinions were coloured because his daughter has worked as a backup singer for McLachlan.
Simkin was on the second day of presenting his closing arguments in the copyright case that has dragged one of Canada's most successful performers into court.
Simkin said Henderson's ability to offer an unbiased assessment of the situation was compromised by his daughter's professional links to McLachlan.

Simkin noted that Neudorf and McLachlan are both members of the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada, and wondered out loud about the "impropriety" of Henderson, as SOCAN president, taking sides in a dispute between two members.
But he acknowledged under questioning from Simkin that the SOCAN board questioned his involvement because "it could be perceived as a problem," and indeed decided that, as president, he should not participate.
Simkin also made hay out of the fact that Henderson failed to identify seven of 11 songs on two demo tapes that ended up on the final Touch CD.

Lawyer Jonathan Simkin, representing musician Darryl Neudorf in a lawsuit against McLachlan and Nettwerk Productions, questioned her on Neudorf's role in her 1988 debut CD Touch.
Simkin seized on a lack of criticism of Neudorf in transcripts of a 1996 examination for discovery that preceded the civil trial.
Simkin then produced her discovery transcript from August, 1996 in which she said: "I had never written any songs before and [Neudorf] was basically brought out here to guide and help me."

Simkin, a Vancouver entertainment attorney (Nickelback, Default) and partner with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger in a new production company, received a phone call 18 months ago from Bruce Burns, father of 16-year-old singer-bassist Louise Burns, seeking legal advice.
Simkin says he gave him a half-hour of free time but during the conversation became intrigued by the sound of this teen-girl group, which wrote and played its own instruments.
Simkin adds that Genn and McGiveron may also be given the opportunity to produce a song or two on Lillix's label debut.

Simkin was also the lawyer representing the artist who took Sarah McLachlan to court over writing credits a few years ago...that pissed off a number of players.

Neudorf maintains he supplied key parts of the music for the songs ``Vox,'' ``Steaming'', ``Sad Clown'' and ``Strange World.'' He has not requested specific damages and needs a ruling of authorship in this case to make such a financial claim.

Jonathan Simkin, a Vancouver entertainment lawyer who recently launched an artist-management company called 604 Records with Nickelback's lead singer Chad Kroeger (their first client was Theory of a Deadman), says Vancouver is definitely under the microscope at the moment.
You fell hook, line and sinker." While it's true that the band is being managed by the festival organizers (and they have certainly helped generate interest), it's also true that the band is represented by one of Simkin's main competitors, Chris Taylor, the Toronto entertainment lawyer who represents Nelly Furtado.
The festival atmosphere might be highly competitive, Simkin says, but these events don't necessarily make or break an independent band.

Before all was said and done, Theory Of A Deadman became the flagship band on 604 Records, the label owned by Kroeger and Simkin.
