Billboard names seven Simkins partners in its 2024 Top Music Lawyers List
We are delighted to announce that seven of our partners have been recognised as honorees in the Billboard 2024 Top Music Lawyers list, for their 'Talent and Litigation' work.
Partners Euan Lawson, Paddy Gardiner, Ed Weidman, Ben Gisbey, Ed Baden-Powell, Tom Iverson, and Nick Eziefula have all been included in Billboard’s annual list of “the best attorneys in the business”.
Billboard recognises Simkins' work with a wide range of clients, including Universal Music Group, PRS for Music, Iron Maiden, Becky Hill, and the estate of David Bowie. The ranking made note of Simkins' work representing Experience Hendrix and Sony Music against posthumous royalty claims by the estates of Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell.
Euan commented that the firm assists clients in navigating shifting marketplace dynamics to develop “a sustainable and long-term career.” “The industry needs to continue to find ways to grow, but in a sustainable manner, ensuring that new talent is not overlooked in favour of catalogue artists.”
