Partners Mark Krais and Simon Goodbody have featured again this year in Billboard’s Top Music Lawyers List, with a notable mention for their work with The Rolling Stones on Hackney Diamonds.
Billboard said: they handled “the necessary paperwork” for The Rolling Stones’ first album of original material in almost 20 years. Released in October, Hackney Diamonds entered the Billboard 200 at No.3 and topped the charts in 20 countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany and France. The London-based firm’s other clients include Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Mumford & Sons and Sony Music Publishing.
“Of the challenges facing the industry, Krais and Goodbody say that Universal Music Group’s recent decision to pull its catalog from TikTok following a licensing dispute “calls into question the long-term commercial viability of promoting music consumption via short-form videoclips.”
