Our Practice

I am an experienced lawyer specializing in all forms of entertainment but focusing on television and film. I priimarily represent content producers, independent production companies, producers, and rights holders. I have particular expertise in complex copyright matters, planning and structuring co-venturing relationships, co-marketing deals and other strategic alliances. I was previously a partner in the Entertainment Department of Loeb & Loeb, LLP, as well as Co-Chair of the firm's iLawGroup. Loeb & Loeb formed the iLawGroup to provide cutting-edge service to clients in the interrelated entertainment, technology, Internet and venture capital sectors. 

Prior to joining Loeb & Loeb, I was General Counsel of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Warner Bros. Online. I was at these entities from their inception through their first three years of operation. At Warner Bros. Online, I was responsible for all legal, business and policy matters pertaining to the development, production and distribution of online content for the Warner Bros. Online website, as well as several highly successful areas featured on America Online. I negotiated innovative deals with Microsoft, AOL and numerous technology companies. 

Before Warner Bros. Online, I was Vice President of Legal Affairs at Twentieth Century Fox, where I directed all legal matters pertaining to the development, production and distribution of theatrical motion pictures, including the engagement of talent, literary property acquisition and exploitation of ancillary rights. I worked on a variety of theatrical motion pictures including Speed, Nell, and Nine Months. During my seven years at Fox, I was also responsible for music licensing, exhibition rights clearance, theatrical film clip licensing and merchandising activities, including the original Simpsons licensing campaign.

Before working at Fox, I practiced radio, television and telecommunications law in Washington, D.C. before the FCC and the federal courts, initially as a law school intern in FCC Commissioner Anne P. Jones' office and later with boutique law firms representing broadcasting, cable and telecommunications companies, including McCaw Cellular Communications.
