As Sony/ATV honors 25 years and rebrands to Sony Music Publishing, attorney John Branca talks about the impact that Michael Jackson had on the company's growth.

John Branca attends Michael Jackson Scream Album Halloween Takeover at TCL Chinese 6 Theatres on Oct. 24, 2017 in Hollywood, Calif.

“Michael’s dream was to create the biggest publisher in the world,” says entertainment attorney John Branca. He negotiated the aforementioned deals and other publishing acquisitions on behalf of his client before Jackson’s untimely death in 2009. In addition to serving as co-executor of the Michael Jackson Estate with John McClain, Branca is partner and head of the music division at entertainment law firm Ziffren Brittenham LLP.

Along the way, I represented Leiber and Stoller when they sold their catalog to Sony/ATV and also represented [Motown founder] Berry Gordy in selling the Jobete song catalog to EMI Music Publishing. After Michael’s unfortunate passing [in 2009], we were able to help [then Sony/ATV chairman/CEO] Marty Bandier and [chief financial officer] Rob Wiesenthal buy EMI to create the biggest publisher in the world. When we did that, it was kind of a nod to Michael because that was his dream.

“Impact he had on its growth”? He literally singlehandedly owned 50% of it. The company wouldn’t exist without him agreeing to create it. Please use accurate wording.
