Mark Robinson has been named Head of Business and Legal Affairs at Kevin Liles' 300 Entertainment, bringing with him over 20 years of industry experience and accolades. The position was created with Robinson in mind, having worked extensively with 300 Entertainment senior executives in past roles. Regarding the move, Robinson stated "300 is a company that is on the cutting edge, that is adept at breaking new artists and is at the forefront of what is happening in the digital world - a true modern day entertainment company. I came up through the industry alongside many of the senior executives at 300 and worked closely with co- founders Kevin Liles, [Lyor Cohen, Todd Moscowitz] and Roger Gold while I was at Warner Music Group. This move feels like I'm coming home to family." ???????
Previously serving as Senior Vice President & General Counsel at BMG, Robinson played a central role in overseeing all legal and business affairs for Bertelsmann's recorded music and publishing divisions and was a pivotal player in BMG's acquisition of Broken Bow Records, Vagrant, Rise and S-Curve Records. Recently, he was named one of Billboard Magazine's "2016 Digital Power Players" due in part to his involvement with BMG's seminal case against internet service provider Cox Communications. Robinson led the legal team that won the precedent-setting case, resulting in a $25M jury verdict and breaking through the 'safe harbor' defense of internet service providers. Prior to BMG, Robinson held head positions at Warner Music Group including running the legal department for Asylum Records and the Independent Label Group, EOne (formerly Koch) and Walter Yetnikoff's Velvel Music Group.

Mark Robinson as Head of Business and Legal Affairs. He is an exemplary colleague and partner and is the best in the business.
Welcome home, Mark" says 300 Entertainment CEO Kevin Liles.
