Teacher, strategic partner and advocate

My organization has hired Steven to represent us on a number of matters over the years ranging from drafting & reviewing television production contracts, advising on new business opportunities in film and children’s programming, and assisting with contract negotiations and mediation. Steven is extre...mely knowledgeable in legal matters relating to the television, film and music industry and is supported by colleagues who can assist in other areas of entertainment law if needed. Steven is clear and concise when explaining his position on matters, and he takes the time to explain key points in a way that is understandable to non-lawyers. He is responsive, polite and articulate, and is a genuinely nice and kind person. Steven is a skilled negotiator who advocates for his clients in a professional manner. He is a strategic thinker, a problem solver, and a connecter, and he has been a trusted advisor in our work to revive an iconic television series.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
