Litigation Support
With over 20 years hands on experience in feature film and TV development, production, international sales, and finance and having worked as both a producer and executive, I understands the inner workings of the entertainment industry, its business practices and the economic complexities involved in a world that very few comprehend. Working closely with each client, I bring the full benefit of this valuable experience to bear on the client’s unique case. I have served on over 6 dozen matters involving loss of wages and economic damage claims ranging from $200k to $250 Million, and have provided expert testimony, reporting, consultation, financial forecasting and referrals for clients in both Federal and State courts on cases regarding copyright infringement, breach of contract, partnership disputes, disfigurement, personal injury, wrongful death, and economic downturn. Relying on strong and extensive hands-on experience, training and education I deliver clients with reports, findings and information to achieve responsible results in their cases. Experience with deposition and trial testimony.

Media and Consulting Services
I provide advisory and consulting services to investors and production companies for film and television projects that are fully developed — ideally with talent and a director attached. My clients have product originating from magazine articles, books, life rights, screenplays and other intellectual and copyrighted property that is ready to complete the financing process. Clients in this area include financiers, investors, production companies, and international sales organizations who need guidance in successfully navigating the unknown waters of Hollywood’s talent, financing and distribution systems. I also work with organizations and associations who are interested in expanding their product and service offerings outside their core market as well as global expansion goals. Additionally I have written a series of entertainment industry-related articles and have served as an entertainment media consultant to Bloomberg News, MSNBC, CCTV, Associated Press International, and NPR The Marketplace on the topics of entertainment standard and practices and business development.
