– Cher v. Mary Bono (rights to Sony & Cher songs, filed 10/13/21)
Moderated by Steven Lowe, CSEL President and Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner at Lowe & Associates, panelists Marc Toberoff, Esq. (Toberoff & Associates, P.C) and Evan S. Cohen, Esq. (Cohen Music Law) will tackle all key areas relating to termination rights, including what to do, when to do it, consequences and major issues.
