GREENSPOON MARDER SHAREHOLER LESLIE ZIGEL WAS A FEATURED SPEAKER AT THE 2016 SOUTHEAST SOUND: MUSIC LAW CONFERENCE
MIAMI – September 29, 2016 – Greenspoon Marder shareholder Leslie Zigel was a featured speaker at the 2016 Southeast Sound: Music Law Conference on Saturday, September 24th . Mr. Zigel’s presentation titled “The Winner for Best Music (Original Song Score) is….Beyond Simple Sync Deals” discussed the various scenarios faced when executing synchronization deals. For example, when a song or recording becomes the theme song for a TV show, or is performed by musicians or actors on-screen in a movie, much more is involved than would be in a simple sync deal. His session explored the types of deal terms that come up in these complex sync usages.
The conference was hosted by the University of Miami Frost School of Music and School of Law joint JD/MM and JD/MA degree programs and student Music Industry Association. This year’s event was sub-titled Purple Law: Sessions Inspired by Prince.
Mr. Zigel graduated cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law in 1995 where he served as Editor-in-Chief of UM’s Inter-American Law Review.
