Experience
Representative Matters
- Universal Music Group in a federal defamation lawsuit filed by recording artist Drake in the Southern District of New York. The court granted Sidley’s motion to dismiss, finding that lyrics in Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us” could not reasonably be interpreted as factual statements and were therefore not defamatory as a matter of law.
