Quote:DINA LAPOLT, LaPolt Law
The West Hollywood-based LaPolt went into business 15 years ago, but is still experiencing firsts in her field. "As women, a lot of us broke through the glass ceiling, but this is the first year I feel I can really compete with these guys,” she says. "People said because I was a musician-turned-lawyer and I started my own practice and I am a woman I wouldn’t be taken seriously." She passes much of that hard-earned wisdom to students of her UCLA Extension course, “Legal and Practical Aspects of the Music Business," currently in its 16th consecutive year.
About Last Year: Signed Britney Spears as a client; Saw longtime client Steven Tyler release his first solo album and Fifth Harmony launch an arena tour; Continued to represent deadmau5.
Big Case: LaPolt led the lawsuit against the Department of Justice on behalf of Songwriters of North America over its decision regarding song licensing.
Non-musical Female Icon: "Afeni Shakur, Tupac’s mother. She taught me to no longer accept the things I cannot change but to change the things I cannot accept."
