Thomas Nye Swift

My experience with Tom involved contract law in the entertainment industry. He is insightful and knowledgable about the issues we discussed and was able to effectively communicate my options. Tom is always prompt to reply to any questions or concerns I may have and along the way, and has increase...d my understanding of what is necessary in my line of work. Working with Tom is always a pleasure. He is collaborative and is always looking for the best solutions for his clients. Tom has been a great friend and mentor to me early on in my career, and he is simply a selfless, hardworking individual. I wouldn't turn to anyone else for legal counsel. - Eli Garfinkel

Swifty, as he's known to me and my team, is quite possibly the biggest asset I have in my career in the entertainment industry. Not only has be brokered mega deals for me and my company, he's done so with complete gusto each and every time. I have to refrain from telling everyone that I'm doing a d...eal with that their lawyers are a joke and what they really need is a Tom Swift on their side. I've known him for well over a decade and not once has he let me down. He's alarmingly fast, incredibly thorough, and truth be told - can talk circles around other legal folks. He has a wealth of contacts and his hands in multiple pots - all thew way up to Executive Producing shows. A lot of history in the entertainment industry is what's needed in this day and age to get things done right...and he has history (and the stories to go with it) to spare! I'm not sure what I'd do without him, quite frankly.

Having Tom Swift in your corner is a must! He's a consummate professional with a command of all facets of the entertainment industry be it music, production, post, etc. because he's been there and done that. His in-depth experience in the field and in the trenches allows for a completely well-roun...ded understanding of anticipating client needs. He's passionate about his work and "gets" his client, yet balances that with his tough-as-nails approach to protecting talent from the intimidating world of contract negotiations. He's an approachable, straight-shooter who loves the game and embraces the creativity. He's been my attorney for twenty years and I consult him, first and foremost, on any move I make.
