About

The IAEL was officially founded in 1977 at the MIDEM, the then main international trade fair of the music business held each January in Cannes, France.

Over the past 50 years, the IAEL has come to fulfil a unique role for lawyers involved in the industry throughout the world. It has expanded enormously in terms of both the numbers of its members and the scope of its activities. Nonetheless, continuity of membership combined with the energy of its members and officers, past and present, mean that the Association's style remains distinctly friendly and informal.

IAEL members are all lawyers, either in private practice or industry, or those training professionally in the law, whose areas of interest and expertise cover any aspect of entertainment law or related areas of media and technology. If you are interested in joining or just want to know more about the IAEL please contact us. Either way, we would be delighted to hear from you.
