THR’s 2025 Top Music Lawyers: Nominations Are Now Open

Behind every successful artist, executive and company in the music business is a good lawyer.

Among the most constant presences in an superstar artist’s life, their attorney is across every record deal, tour contract and legal dispute that comes their way. And as the industry gets ready to face the most disruptive period it’s ever seen with the coming artificial intelligence revolution, lawyers are becoming even more crucial to help address existential questions on how it will change copyright law and how artists’ interests can be protected.

Once again, The Hollywood Reporter is getting ready to recognize the best music attorneys in the game, and we’re accepting nominations to highlight the attorneys with the most high-profile music clients, who are closing the biggest deals, taking on the most pressing cases and shaping music’s legal future. This year’s top music lawyers list will be featured in the Oct. 1 edition of The Hollywood Reporter for our Grammys Issue.

If you or your client would like to be considered, please fill out a submission through this form. The deadline for submissions is Aug. 8. If your submission is chosen, a THR journalist will be in touch with more information on next steps.
