Located as we are in Los Angeles, the heart of the entertainment
business, we can't help getting involved in "the industry."
We have represented movie studios, record companies and film
producers, as well as "the talent."
We have successfully reorganized one of the largest theatre chains in
the country, and also advised a distressed investor on how to acquire another
theatre chain.
We even developed a very specialized niche practice of
bankruptcy "preventative medicine."
In the entertainment industry, where many players are new and / or
thinly capitalized, one always has to be concerned about the financial
wherewithal of your prospective business partners. Accordingly, we have a group of attorneys that advise companies
on how to structure new transactions (or restructure existing ones) so as to
minimize their risks in the event their business partners experience financial difficulties.
