Founder, Yu Leseberg

Yu negotiated client Paulo Londra’s 2022 label contract with Warner Music Latina after managing litigation that freed the Argentine rapper from label Big Ligas. The resulting album, Back to the Game — his first in three years — arrived in November. The firm also closed exclusive apparel deals for client Westside Merchandising with hip-hop supergroup Mount Westmore (Snoop Dogg, Ice-Cube, E-40, Too $hort) as well as hip-hop magazine The Source. Yu’s diverse roster includes Ty Dolla $ign, Diane Warren, Jeff Gitelman, Gerardo Ortiz, members of the Black Eyed Peas and Adrián Chaparro. Yu says that as the first Asian American woman to lead a music law firm, she is passionate about inclusion and creating opportunities for underdogs.

“It’s a privilege & honor to once again be named as a Billboard Top Music Lawyer.  Our passion and commitment to our clients as trailblazing advocates for creatives remains unwavering.”

BILLBOARD: Billboard’s 2023 Top Music Lawyers Revealed

Billboard Names Helen Yu of Yu Leseberg As A Top Lawyer For 2022

“I am once again honored to be named by Billboard for this acknowledgement. As a minority woman attorney in the music business, let’s just say, I still stand out in just about every room I walk into. In the early days, at times it was intimidating and lonely with ‘no tribe.’  As they say… it only made me stronger & appreciate my seat at the table.  My commitment to helping artist’s and championing inclusion continues as my life’s passion.” - Helen Yu, Esq.
