"Lepera is the first lawyer that major artists call when they’re accused of copyright infringement. She has successfully handled such cases for Katy Perry, Drake, Jay-Z and Post Malone in the past few years, and she’s currently repping Dua Lipa in a high-profile infringement lawsuit over “Levitating,” the singer’s chart-topping 2020 breakout hit. “The music industry sees too many baseless claims,” Lepera says. But her most newsworthy case in 2023 was the headline-grabbing split between Hall & Oates, in which she represented Daryl Hall and won a restraining order blocking John Oates from selling his half of the duo’s company to Primary Wave."
