Billboard has again named Benjamin Marks, Head of Weil’s Intellectual Property & Media practice, and IP/Media partner Todd Larson to its Top Music Lawyers list for 2024. This is the fourth consecutive year each practitioner has received the honor.

The magazine highlighted the pair’s representation of SiriusXM and Pandora in proceedings that will set certain rates and terms for statutory licenses for music reproduction over the next five-year period. Billboard also noted their work on behalf of the North American Concert Promoters Association and its members, Live Nation and AEG, in a dispute with BMI regarding live performance royalty rates.

Billboard also asked practitioners for their advice regarding the rise of artificial intelligence. “Proceed with extreme caution, don’t skimp on due diligence and investigations, and keep us on speed dial,” Ben replied. “Minefields abound.”
