After the band broke up in 2019, Farbman earned his J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law concentrating on music law, IP, and antitrust.
During law school he authored a law review article analyzing concert ticket affordability and the Live Nation/Ticketmaster market structure that was published in the Journal of Intellectual Property Law, and worked as a Law Clerk and Summer Associate at Hall Booth Smith, P.C. in Nashville; as a legal extern at the Law Office of Allen Jacobi / Pyramid Records in Miami; and as a Judicial Law Clerk for the Honorable Laura Maria Gonzalez-Marques of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida.
At Hall Booth Smith Farbman handles entertainment transactions, intellectual property matters and general litigation, with a developing focus on music industry contracts, catalog rights, licensing, royalty analysis and entertainment-related civil litigation.
