Creative Artists Agency has had exploratory discussions to buy Paradigm Talent Agency, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to comment. The discussions began after Paradigm had shut down an acquisition effort last year by United Talent Agency, one of the sources said. AdvertisementAlthough it’s unclear whether or how soon a deal might occur, buying Paradigm would give CAA an additional roster of high-profile music clients. Paradigm represents Sheeran in U.S. and Canada, while CAA represents Sheeran in other countries. But none of the larger agencies, including Paradigm, have signed an agreement with the WGA.
