Janowitz Named One of New York's Top 20 Entertainment Lawyers in The Hollywood Reporter
Partner and Media + Entertainment Group co-chair James Janowitz has been named in The Hollywood Reporter's "Power Lawyers 2020: New York's Top 20 Entertainment Attorneys." Recognized for achievements in theater, fashion, media, and music litigation, these attorneys were selected after setting themselves apart from the crowd through the extensive and transformative work in their respective practices.
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
Janowitz is a veteran whose practice stretches back to the landmark copyright lawsuit he won against George Harrison in the early 1970s over “My Sweet Lord.” Now he’s one of only a few attorneys doing transactional work as well as litigation. As the acquisition of song publishing rights continues to be hot, he represented Shamrock Capital Advisors in a deal to buy a catalog from songwriter-producers Tor Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen (Stargate) that included Katy Perry’s “Firework,” Rihanna’s “Diamonds” and Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable.” He’s also representing music publishers in rate-setting proceedings.
