Casey Chisick

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the economics and ownership structures of music, Casey Chisick has become one of the key legal figures helping define how the industry responds. A partner and chair of the Intellectual Property and Entertainment & Sports groups at Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Chisick has spent decades at the forefront of Canadian copyright law, representing collective societies like SOCAN and CMRRA and appearing in landmark copyright appeals before the Supreme Court of Canada. He’s worked with some major artists in Canadian music, from Shawn Mendes to Avril Lavigne. Over the last year, though, his work has increasingly focused on AI licensing, rights management and digital policy at a very crucial moment some have compared to the file sharing revolution or shift to streaming. There are immense legal ramifications, and Chisick is here to meet the moment.
