Few lawyers in Canada have touched so many aspects of the modern music business as Susan Abramovitch. Across more than three decades, the Gowling WLG partner has advised everyone from artists and independent labels to publishers and digital platforms, reflecting the interconnectedness of music, technology and intellectual property. Her recent work has included advising companies like Secret City Records and Peermusic on rights management, artist development and international growth, while also handling catalogue acquisitions and complex cross-border deals. At the same time, Abramovitch continues to work with Canadian artists including Patrick Watson, Finger Eleven, Loreena McKennitt and Susan Aglukark. And, like so many lawyers working in the music industry, she’s increasingly working on the implications of AI, copyright and creativity — on the legal vanguard of a changing industry.
