Jonathan Mason
Mason Law Group, P.C.
Jonathan was introduced to entertainment law began with his representation of Luther Vandross and Sean "Diddy" Combs in separate litigation matters in North Carolina. Thereafter, he began representing “talent” in entertainment-related transactions. Jonathan relocated to Atlanta in November 1998 and became licensed to practice in Georgia in 1999. His practice has expanded to include representation of independent record labels, music producers, songwriters, production companies, concert promoters, visual artists, and fashion models. Jonathan’s practice also includes entertainment-related litigation, including royalty and commission disputes, copyright infringement, and trademark infringement matters.
Jonathan has also been involved in matters involving Rickey Smiley, the late Wilson Pickett, Mothers Finest, Kirk Franklin, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Rickey Smiley, Mothers Finest, Idris Elba, Mariah Carey, T.I., and, just to name a few. Although Jonathan enjoys working with well-known clients, the heart and soul of his practice is dedicated to assisting unsigned and emerging artists in positioning themselves to reach the next level, or advising start-up record labels and production companies on the legal issues associated with start-up entertainment companies.
Jonathan's expertise in Entertainment Law landed him the position of Adjunct Professor at Atlanta's John Marshall Law School, where he developed a successful curriculum and taught Entertainment Law for several years.
