We operate at the center of today’s music economy, steering high-value deals where intellectual property, capital, and creativity converge. From headline-making catalog acquisitions to tailored royalty-backed financings, our team brings unmatched market fluency and deal sophistication to every engagement.

We’ve led some of the industry’s most complex and competitive transactions and are known for structuring bespoke deals that anticipate risk, unlock value, and position our clients for long-term success.

The practice is led by one of the most prolific music deal lawyers in the country and is trusted by many of the key players shaping the next era of the music business.
