Entertainment is powered by vision and built on deals. At Michelman Robinson, we advise the people and entities bringing content to life—producers, studios, investors, agencies, talent, and platforms—offering legal and strategic guidance across the creative and commercial spectrum.

Our practice spans every stage of content creation and monetization, from financing and development through production, distribution, and exploitation. We structure coproductions and licensing deals, secure endorsements and brand integrations, negotiate private equity investments, and manage complex rights portfolios involving film, television, gaming, and immersive media.

When disputes arise, we litigate with precision and tenacity. Our team has successfully handled matters involving profit participation, credit and compensation, copyright infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, and talent-side disputes, including appeals reaching the Ninth Circuit and U.S. Supreme Court. We also represent agencies, publicists, and creatives in high-profile litigation and provide day-to-day counsel on employment and workplace issues in entertainment environments.

Embedded in both entertainment and law, we help clients protect creative assets, navigate risk, and close deals that move projects—and careers—forward.
