Shinzong Lee ’05 discussed her journey as an attorney in the entertainment law industry with Yale students this past Monday.
Lee, Paramount’s vice president of business and legal affairs, discussed the entertainment industry, her legal career and how her time at Yale shaped it. She noted that many people pursue law because they believe it is relatively stable.
“Entertainment law is actually almost the exact opposite,” Lee said. “In order to stay relevant, you have to be up to date on industry trends and be open to pivoting with constant legal changes and uncertainty regarding jobs being eliminated and companies imploding.”
At Yale, Lee was a psychology major and an aspiring journalist who served as managing editor of the News. Following her undergraduate career, she received her law degree from the University of Chicago and served in legal roles at Apple and NBC Universal before assuming her current position at Paramount.
