Mulraine, Loren
Of Counsel
Loren E. Mulraine serves as Of Counsel at the firm, where he focuses his practice on entertainment law, intellectual property and business and corporate law. His client roster has included Grammy, Dove and Stellar award winners; gold, platinum and multi-platinum selling artists; producers and songwriters; entrepreneurs; filmmakers; and management companies. He is also a professor at Belmont University College of Law, where he teaches courses in Copyright Law, Entertainment Law, Media Law and Intellectual Property Law.
Loren chose law as a career after starting his professional life as an on-air radio personality. “I really enjoyed being on the air, but I realized that the real business of broadcasting was done behind the scenes, and I wanted to be involved in making the deals,” he explained. “I love being able to merge my understanding of the creative elements of the entertainment and media industries with my legal and business skills to protect my clients’ intellectual property, build their business enterprises and advocate for social justice.” His legal career began as a government contracts attorney with the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington, D.C. The lure of Music City finally pulled him in, though, and he relocated to Nashville to practice entertainment law.
Prior to joining the faculty at Belmont, Loren was a full professor and chair of the Department of Recording Industry at Middle Tennessee State University, where he taught for 14 years. There, he also served two non-consecutive terms as the interim Associate Dean of the College of Mass Communication.
An independent gospel artist, worship leader and songwriter, Loren combines artistry and ministry in a way that crosses genre and age boundaries, appealing to audiences across the board. He has released four solo recordings, multiple group projects and session work, including the Grammy Award-winning Tribute: The Songs of Andrae Church. His latest solo recording, Fall on Me, was released in 2010.
When he is not practicing law, teaching a class or writing a song, Loren actively tours with the Breath of Life Quartet. He enjoys traveling, reading, watching good movies, occasionally impressing his kids with his Jeopardy! skills and playing and watching sports, particularly the New York Yankees, Washington Redskins, Tennessee Titans and Maryland Terrapins.
