Kurt Dahl — Partner

Entertainment 

Kurt lives and breathes entertainment law. Recognized as a leading mind in the field, his clients range from the smallest indie musicians and film producers to the most successful Juno-winning musicians, record labels, managers, publishers, and tech companies.

Why Murphy & Company?

Kurt wanted to join a firm that used industry experience to help clients. 

He’s also been close friends with Tim since they met in law school, joined the law school band, and subsequently formed a band of their own.

All About Kurt

Kurt is a drummer in rock band One Bad Son. They’ve toured the world, released five top ten singles, and played arenas with artists such as the Rolling Stones, Def Leppard, and Shinedown.

In 2019, Canadian Lawyer Magazine recognized Kurt as an industry leader. His articles have been published by Canadian Musician, Vice Magazine, Drum Magazine, and CBC. Among other things, he is the President of SaskMusic.

What matters most to Kurt is his family: his wife Julia, son Levon, and daughter Laurel. When he’s not working, he can be found chasing his kids around the back yard.
