On July 31, 2018, SOCAN completed its acquisition of SODRAC.

The combination of SOCAN (The Society of Composers, Authors & Music Publishers of Canada) and SODRAC (The Society for Reproduction Rights of Authors, Composers & Publishers in Canada) offers an integrated approach to the management of both performing rights and reproduction rights of songwriters, composers and music publishers.

Gowling WLG advised SOCAN in this acquisition with a team that included Rafal Wrzesien and Ingrid Anton.
