The arrival of Doug Baldridge at Venable was covered by Attorney at Law, Bloomberg Law, CityBiz, Law.com, and Westlaw Today. Mr. Baldridge returns to Venable as a partner in the Commercial Litigation Practice in Washington, DC. Baldridge, who has worked as outside legal counsel to Taylor Swift and 13 Management since 2013, most recently oversaw and advised Taylor Swift and her team on legal matters in-house.
Mr. Baldridge represents major U.S. corporations in the pharmaceutical, technology, consumer products, fuel, and other industries; entertainers and other celebrities; real estate developers; publishers; shareholders; and other clients in high-stakes litigation. He is widely recognized for his handling of legal and business issues in matters involving antitrust, intellectual property, false advertising, celebrity and "talent" rights, First Amendment and publishers' rights, unfair competition, products liability, toxic torts, securities, and commercial lending and real estate.
"It was a privilege to be part of the legal team that supported Taylor Swift and 13 Management during the final 18 months of her record-breaking The Eras Tour," said Baldridge. "I am excited to resume my practice at Venable and continue to work with Taylor and her team as outside counsel."
