Atlanta, February 2, 2026 – Arnall Golden Gregory LLP (AGG) is pleased to announce the firm’s Intellectual Property practice has been recognized by World Trademark Review in its 2026 WTR 1000 for the seventh year.

Matt Wilson is a partner in AGG’s Corporate and IP practices, as well as chair of the Entertainment & Sports industry team. According to WTR, he “is known for his commitment to delivering top-notch legal guidance helping his clients protect and maximize their IP assets.” He is particularly skilled at structuring and negotiating high-value agreements across the entertainment sector, with a focus on music, film, and digital media. With more than two decades of experience representing recording artists, songwriters, publishers, producers, business teams, labels, distributors, and concert promoters, his clients value him as a trusted advisor on copyright, licensing, and other intellectual property matters and as a vital counselor in connection with their career paths.
