Standing Pat: Global Music Rights Head/Business & Legal Affairs Patrick Sabatini has been named SVP/Legal & Business Affairs for Warner Music Nashville, reporting to EVP/A&R Cris Lacy. He fills the void created by last year's departure of Megan Joyce. "His previous stops at Warner Bros. Records give him an understanding of our culture and values, and his wealth of knowledge about all aspects of the industry is essential to [WMN's] growth," Lacy says. Sabatini's career includes time with Arista, Capitol, Warner Bros. and private law firms.
