Defending artists' rights: L. Londell McMillan: The McMillan Firm
Essence, Nov, 2004 by Sherri A. McGee
Who's the person folks like Prince, Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack and Spike Lee call for legal advice? The man of the moment is entertainment attorney L. Londell McMillan, chairman of The McMillan Firm. He launched his New York City-based law office in 1997 with $25,000 in savings after working as an entertainment and media lawyer with Gold, Farrell & Marks LLP. Since then he has become a leading advocate for artists' rights. With more than a dozen employees and revenues well into the eight figures, the firm represents recording artists, sports figures, authors, executives and businesses in communications, media, entertainment, retail and real estate. Last year Chain's New York Business newspaper named McMillan, 38, one of the 100 Most Powerful Minority Business Leaders.
FINDING A NICHE: "My goal was to become a civil-rights attorney and use the law to further social and economic justice for our people. But while attending New York University Law School and working as a sports agent with Athletes and Artists, Inc., I found I enjoyed negotiating and advocating on behalf of those with an impact on American culture in sports, entertainment and business."

Founder and principal

As a child growing up in the projects of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Londell McMillan looked up to Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass. As a law student at New York University, he considered becoming a civil rights attorney but decided that his humanitarian aims could be achieved by working for parity in the business world.
“Success in business is the civil rights imperative of the new millennium,” he says.
At NYU, he started the Minority Roundtable, a nonprofit that encourages diversity at law firms. He went on to become the first black lawyer at entertainment law firm Gold Farrell Marks in 1993 after a stint at LeBoeuf Lamb Greene & MacRae, and soon distinguished himself in other ways as well.
In 1996, while still an associate, he was hired by Prince to free the musician from a multiyear contract with Warner Bros. Winning the case thrust the then-30-year-old Mr. McMillan into the limelight and gave him the boost he needed to launch his own firm.
His 20-person practice now represents Stevie Wonder, D’Angelo, Faith Evans, Spike Lee and Wesley Snipes, and in the past two years has negotiated $250 million in deals. A new Los Angeles office focuses on film, TV and the Internet, and Mr. McMillan has branched out to work as an executive producer on projects with Messrs. Snipes and Lee.
Another firm he started, NorthStar Business Enterprises, aims to form alliances between black entrepreneurs and mainstream businesses, such as a new venture between FUBU Records and Universal. He eventually plans to be in the business of buying and selling companies, following in the footsteps of Reginald Lewis and Ron Perelman, role models whom he ranks right up there with Malcolm X. |
