BIOGRAPHY
Mariah Comer is a partner at LaPolt Law, P.C. and first-generation college student of Black and Mexican descent from Santa Ana, California. Named after the legend, Mariah Carey, she has always had a passion for music since she was a child.
Mariah went to UCLA for undergrad where she received her bachelor’s degrees in Political Science, African American Studies, and Education Studies. After successfully graduating from the #1 public university in the country, Mariah attended 1 of the 5 Ivy League law schools in the country – Cornell Law School – before returning back to Los Angeles to begin her career.
At LaPolt, Mariah works primarily with the firm’s hip-hop and rap artists, communicating directly with the artists, management, business management, and labels on a daily basis. Helping build the client’s overall brand and negotiating deals from start to finish, Mariah’s work focuses on a wide range of transactional entertainment and intellectual property matters relating to both the music industry and brand endorsements.
On Mariah’s free time when she is not attending concerts or festivals, she enjoys giving back to the community by mentoring other first-generation college and law school students of color like herself.
