Billboard has released the 2026 edition of their Top Music Lawyers list and five Wigdor Partners have been recognized. Billboard’s annual list – nominated by their peers and chosen by Billboard editors – honors the attorneys whose cases and clients garner significant media attention and shape the music industry. Honorees span practice areas including talent representation, licensing, and litigation. This year, Douglas Wigdor, Meredith Firetog, Lawrence Pearson, Michael Willemin and the recently retired Jeanne Christensen have been included on this esteemed list.
This year marks Douglas Wigdor’s fifth honor from the brand, Michael Willemin’s fourth consecutive inclusion, and Meredith Firetog’s second year. We are thrilled they are now joined by Lawrence Pearson and Jeanne Christensen, who both make their Billboard debut. Congratulations to the team!
