About Ivan

Mr. Parron has 20+ years of legal, executive and agent experience in the television, music, motion pictures and sports industries. He has been voted a Top 50 Music Industry Attorney by Billboard Magazine and consistently voted "Super Lawyer" in entertainment law by his peers in both Florida and New York. He is a 2-term elected Grammy Governor of The Recording Academy, an active Emmy-voting member of the Television Academy, past-Chair of the Florida Bar's Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law section, a board member of Film Florida and an appointed member of the Miami-Dade County Film & Entertainment Advisory Board.

Prior to PARRON LAW and his tenure at Universal Music Group as in-house attorney, Mr. Parron served as CEO & founder of Ritmoteca.com, the world’s first legal source for downloadable Latin music via the Internet. Mr. Parron is often referred to as the, "inventor of the online music store' (see Wikipedia) since his company was an early predecessor to the Apple iTunes business model. He helped pioneer the deal structure for digital distribution of music and media, signing agreements with over 60 independent record labels and aggregating exclusive rights to over 600,000 music tracks and videos including exclusive digital distribution rights to artists like Tito Puente, Marc Anthony and Celia Cruz. His vision and business savvy also led him to become the first Latin music venture to sign digital distribution deals with the major record labels including Sony Music, BMG Music, Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group, securing his position as a dealmaker. Under his leadership, Ritmoteca forged strategic alliances with companies including Microsoft, AOL, Nokia, Motorola and Napster. Parron built the company up to 200 employees backed by private and institutional investors including Bain Capital.

Prior to Ritmoteca, Mr. Parron founded Internet Marketing Consultants in 1994 which consulted media brands including MTV, Nickelodeon & Discovery.
