Adams and Reese Nashville Office Partner in Charge Lynn Morrow was selected among the 2015 “Top Women in Music City” by the Nashville Business Journal and honored among the most powerful businesswomen during the 2015 Women In Music City awards Sept. 24 at the Omni Nashville Hotel.
To come up with the list of winners, the NBJ asked for nominations of women working in the music business who are making a creative and economic impact on the industry. The nominations were then given to a judging committee consisting of women music professionals from Los Angeles and New York City.
Representing regional, national and international clients, Morrow advises and advocates for businesses and organizations that promote music and other forms of entertainment, and helps artists, authors, songwriters, music publishers and producers negotiate deals. She also works with independent publishing companies, record companies and large non-profit ministries with a music element, helping them to protect their intellectual property and content. Previously a litigator, Morrow brings courtroom and negotiation skills to her practice.
Because Morrow has many years of experience in this area of law, she’s familiar with nearly every type of deal in existence, even given the dramatic changes in the music industry over the past decade or more. Morrow writes extensively on copyright and entertainment-related subjects, and her article, "The Recording Artist Agreement: Does it Empower or Enslave?" was published by the Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment Law and Practice.
In addition, Morrow speaks frequently before legal and entertainment industry audiences. In 2013, Morrow was named Best Lawyers® Lawyer of the Year in Entertainment Law in Nashville, and since 2008, she has been ranked among Best Lawyers® in Entertainment Law - Music, Copyright Law and Intellectual Property Law. Morrow assisted in the development of the firm’s Entertainment and New Media Practice Group.
