For the first time, Billboard is expanding its peer-voted Power Players’ Choice Award to cover music’s top lawyers, asking industry members from all sectors to honor the attorney they believe had the most impact across the business in the past year.
Voting is now open to all Billboard Pro members, both existing and new, with one vote per member per round.
The first round of voting for the Top Music Lawyers Power Players’ Choice Award is now open with an open call for nominees that will run through Feb. 19.
The Top Music Lawyers Power Players’ Choice Award will run alongside Billboard’s annual Top Music Lawyers ranking of the industry’s most influential attorneys, which will be announced in March.
