Gary Jason Wax

I'm an appellate lawyer.  I represent a wide range of clients in civil appeals and in writ proceedings, including business owners, property owners, insurers, employers, public entities, film finance lenders, film producers, bankruptcy creditors, and trademark holders.

I also regularly provide assistance to trial counsel in proposing jury instructions and verdict forms and drafting dispositive motions and oppositions—all with a keen eye toward helping trial counsel to preserve the record for any future appeal.

Before joining GMSR as an appellate lawyer, I worked in the film industry as a creative executive, where I acquired distribution rights for feature films such as the Oscar-nominated City of God. I now use my appreciation for effective storytelling to deliver persuasive briefs and arguments for clients seeking to uphold or reverse their trial court judgments in California state or federal appellate courts.
