Amy is wonderful

Amy was SO helpful to us working through a our very first contract with PBS. We had absolutely no idea how to navigate it and were total newbies. She's easy to talk to and communicative.

Amazing Lawyer

My company has had Amy as our lawyer for almost 10 years. We rely on her for both big and small legal counsel and we would not be able to conduct our business as needed without her. She's consulted for us, drafted and created countless agreements and templates, and is always communicative and clear. ...We would recommend her to anyone in need of a good lawyer, especially in the entertainment industry.

Clever, smart, thorough, and professional

I needed an entertainment lawyer to review an option/purchase agreement for my novel sent to me by a Hollywood executive. I needed a clean document in order to proceed with pitching the project to a financing entity for a streaming series. Amy Mitchell was recommended to me by a top entertainment l...awyer in Austin. Amy was brilliant, noting the pitfalls in the contract, defending and protecting my rights, and creating an agreement that was palatable for both of us. She asked pertinent questions, and together, we refined my basic needs going forward. Amy is highly intelligent, sharp, transparent, patient, and above all, she thoroughly understands the issues of entertainment agreements. I come from a family of lawyers, so I am confident of Amy's total professionalism.

Kind and Fair

To be short and to the point - all my interactions with Amy have been quick, easy, and fair. Correspondance was equally easy and fast. I highly recommend Amy Mitchell.

Client for 10 years and beyond!

We have worked with Amy Mitchell for almost 10 years and she has been vital in our business -- growing it, building it, and protecting it. She is highly respected in the Austin community and her reputation is stellar amongst other lawyers and a variety of clients. We are so grateful that she sees us... not as a company but as people and helps us to understand the legal process. Highly recommend her particularly in contract and licensing, but she has many more values than that!

"Amy is my go-to resource when I have an issue in my Entertainment law practice, and has been since I've graduated law school. She has the sort of wealth of knowledge in her field that can only become manifest with experience, and that's exactly what a client should look for. Not to mention she's professional, kind, meticulous, thorough, and the past chair of the Texas Entertainment and Sports Law Section of the State Bar. A "rock star" attorney for actual rock stars. I whole-heartedly endorse her."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
