ACADEMY ENLISTS A LEGAL CHIEF

Jennifer Jones has joined The Recording Academy as Executive Vice President of Legal Affairs.

Reporting to CEO Harvey Mason Jr., Jones will oversee the Academy's day-to-day legal matters and advise its Board of Trustees, senior Recording Academy staff, the senior leadership of its affiliates and other areas within the organization. She will also act as the liaison between the Academy's business units and outside counsel and support and facilitate these interactions to enforce the Academy's intellectual-property rights. Jones is further responsible for managing the organization's legal affairs department, covering contract law, employment law, privacy and data protection, intellectual property, advocacy and not-for-profit governance.

"Taking a fresh look at the Academy's legal practices and ensuring they are best in class is crucial as we continue the organization's growth and transformation," Mason said. “As a new and very important strategic advisor to the Academy, Jennifer will strengthen our leadership team as we push toward our goal of doing more to serve our music community."

Jones was an attorney for 17 years at Proskauer Rose LLP, where she served as counsel and advisor to clients in the arts, entertainment and sports. She has worked with the Academy for more than a decade, advising it and its affiliates on a broad range of legal matters.
