Leaders from across the music industry gathered during GRAMMY Week to celebrate the attorneys shaping the business behind the music. This year's luncheon honored Warner Music Group’s EVP & General Counsel Paul Robinson with the ELI Service Award.

Reflecting on his decades of work in the industry, Robinson shared, “We are so fortunate in doing what we do. We have genuinely inspiring and enviable jobs in service of the artists, songwriters and their music.”
