About

Launched in Sweden in 2008, Spotify is the world’s most popular music streaming service with a community of 217 million active users, including 100 million subscribers across 79 markets. The talented legal department has overseen a number of significant deals during Spotify’s rapid expansion in the past few years, including its direct listing on the NYSE. The team continues to support the business on new projects by providing solid legal advice on a range of legal affairs. For example, with substantial contribution from the legal function, recently Spotify entered into partnership with Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company, Higher Ground, which will produce podcasts exclusive to the platform. The multi-year agreement will be with Higher Ground Audio, an expansion of the Higher Ground production company that will oversee the move into podcasts.
