I have been a practicing attorney for over 35 years, with the last 25 years specializing in entertainment law in addition to my business transactional practice.  I have extensive experience in all aspects of legal, business and union matters in the entertainment industry, including the production, distribution and sales of long and short form film and television programming, and the negotiating and drafting of agreements for financing, production, and distribution of such programming.  My clients also include software, web site, design and graphics companies. I represent production companies, talent, and producers in all phases of development and production in all types of media worldwide.  My legal experience is grounded in intellectual property, corporate, general business and transactional law.  I was an in-house attorney at both Universal Studios Florida and Walt Disney World for over seven years, and my  last four years at Disney focused exclusively as Director of Business Affairs for original television programming.  Among other projects while at Disney, I packaged, negotiated and sold worldwide rights for two episodic television series.
