Ory Ben-Zion Sandel

Entertainment and litigation attorney representing the greater Bay Area.

Most people call what I do "litigation". I prefer to call it "dispute resolution". It may, but does not necessarily, involve the federal or state courts, but always involves acting as a fierce and tireless advocate to achieve the best possible outcome for the client. Subject matters I’ve dealt with run the gamut of tort and contract law and have included soft IP infringement, real estate, business and contracts, fiduciary breaches, fraud and negligence, and even some personal injury. As an outgrowth of litigation, I also handle appellate matters.

Several of the firm's clients are in the live musical and theatrical entertainment industries. So in addition to the above, I also do general "soft" intellectual property consultation; licensing, distribution and other entertainment-related agreements; and deal with myriad other issues. That work is informed by my substantial prior business experience in the internet, alcoholic beverage distribution and entertainment industries.

I also happen to be fluent in Hebrew.
