Exclusive Succession Opportunity - Music Partner | Leading Media Law Firm | Path to Equity
London - West End | Competitive Package + Equity Prospects
This is a rare, career-defining opportunity for an ambitious legal professional to step into the legacy of one of the most prestigious music law firms in the country. With a stellar reputation and a client roster featuring multi-platinum artists, globally renowned writers, and industry-leading talent, this firm has long been at the heart of the music and entertainment world.
Following a recent strategic merger with a multi-service firm specialising in film & TV accounting, cyber security, data protection, and property law, this firm is now positioned as a powerhouse across media, entertainment, and corporate services. Originally supported by an in-house team of 13 corporate lawyers, the firm has historically referred work externally but is now poised for even greater expansion.

Expanded Services: Now part of a larger multi-service operation with cross-referral opportunities across corporate, cyber security, film & TV, property, and data protection law.
Prime Location & Dynamic Culture: Based in London's West End, this firm has an entrepreneurial, artist-focused approach and an office adorned with platinum records, reflecting its impact in the industry.
