Represented Travilyn Livingston and her publishing company, Jay Livingston Music, Inc., in a significant appellate victory before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
The case, brought by Travilyn’s daughter, Tammy Livingston, centered on the rights to royalties and copyright ownership of songs composed by the late Jay Livingston—Travilyn’s father and part of the legendary songwriting duo behind classics such as “Que Sera, Sera,” “Silver Bells” and “Mona Lisa.” In March 2026, the district court awarded Jay Livingston Music and Travilyn approximately $386,000 in attorneys’ fees for successfully defending the action, concluding that Tammy’s claims were objectively unreasonable and that an award of fees was warranted under the Copyright Act.
