The Beatles. The name itself is magic. The Beatles’ music remains, as a whole, timeless and unparalleled in its genre. In a larger sense, the Beatles were the vanguard of a movement that changed the world, influencing everything from hair styles and clothing to war and peace, sex and drugs to films and television, politics and religion to class and, of course, music. Always greater than the sum of their parts, the Beatles will live forever as the musical genius of a generation rich in music.
Attorney-Beatles fans can only dream about representing the surviving Beatles. That distinction goes to Paul LiCalsi and Amy Lippman, of Gold, Farrell & Marks, LLP in New York City, who handle the Beatles’ interests in various intellectual property matters. A more coveted representation is difficult to imagine, except for one recent bit of unpleasantness: The Beatles’ lawyers stand accused of professional misconduct.
