Julie Swidler, Sony Music Group’s executive vice president of Business Affairs and general counsel, is scheduled to leave the company at the end of June. Multiple reports say the transition has been planned for some time. Billboard reports that Sony Music Group chairman Rob Stringer says her departure was planned “for a while,” while The Hollywood Reporter adds that Swidler has served as general counsel since 2008. The articles present her role as a long-tenured senior legal executive within Sony Music, combining responsibilities that include business affairs and general counsel duties. No successor is named in the provided coverage. The timing of the departure is consistent across outlets, and both sources describe it as a planned step rather than an abrupt change. The reports focus on Swidler’s tenure and the scheduled end-of-June departure date, without detailing specific reasons for the change or outlining immediate operational impacts for the company’s legal leadership.
