The firm is pleased to announce that Lisa Alter and Katie Baron were named in Variety’s “Music Legal Elite Report” for 2025. The second annual list highlights the top attorneys “rocking the biz.”
Lisa and Katie were recognized for their work closing catalog deals for clients including Iconic Music Group (RZA, Rod Stewart), Influence Media Partners (DJ Khaled, Enrique Iglesias, Blake Shelton, Future, Jesse Frasure, Logic), and Primary Wave (the Notorious B.I.G., Ramones), which led them to secure over $880 million in transactions this year.
“Music is one of the last things to be impacted by inflation or depression,” Lisa tells Variety, adding that despite the firm’s massive success, a multitude of complexities can arise when dealing with catalog sales, including estate and will issues.
“Sometimes there are complications, because it requires doing diligence into chain of title that involves the estate,” she explains. “Sometimes there is no will and you have to deal with what happened with letters of administration. It can definitely add multilayers of complexity.”
