PRACTICE AREAS





Entertainment

We have broad experience handling the range of disputes faced by entertainment-related
businesses and individuals in the entertainment industry, including libel and slander, breach
of contract, intellectual property, First Amendment, and other issues.  The firm has
represented all types of clients in the industry, including studios, small production
companies, and talent.

Representative results include:

       Secured a complete dismissal for one client, the CEO of a video distribution
company, and a low five-figure settlement for another client, the distribution company
itself, after they were both sued for breach of contract and fraud relating to distribution
of DVDs and videotapes.  The plaintiff had originally sought compensatory damages
in excess of $7 million.

       Obtained a favorable settlement for the director and writer of a motion picture
after he was sued for defamation because of alleged defamatory portrayals of actual
people in the motion picture.
