Bray & Krais’ client Ed Sheeran wins U.S. “Thinking Out Loud” copyright dispute.

A jury in a New York District Court today found Ed Sheeran not guilty of infringing ‘Let’s Get It On’ written by Ed Townsend and Marvin Gaye, after hearing testimony from both sides over the course of the past week.

We are incredibly proud of the team, in particular U.S. attorneys Ilene FarkasDonald zakarin and Andrew M. Goldsmith from Pryor Cashman who helped to secure this very favourable result.
