Date: June 30th, 2009 11:34 PM Author: Alcoholic kitchen Decent entertainment shop. Solid on litigation, but they pop up a fair amount on the transaction side too. Small and lean. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1031145&forum_id=2#12129235) |

Date: June 30th, 2009 11:34 PM Author: Coral misunderstood sneaky criminal locale I thought they ONLY do Lit? Or is that some other firm I'm thinking of (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1031145&forum_id=2#12129247) |

Date: June 30th, 2009 11:36 PM Author: Alcoholic kitchen Eh, I haven't run across them on the transaction side, but I could swear some of my colleagues have mentioned them. I could be wrong though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1031145&forum_id=2#12129259) |

Date: June 30th, 2009 11:37 PM Author: black school I've never seen them on a deal. Aren't they the firm that does the RIAA lawsuits? |

Date: June 30th, 2009 11:39 PM Author: Alcoholic kitchen I dont think you would unless you were in entertainment. They're in film financings acquisitions etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1031145&forum_id=2#12129278) |

Date: June 30th, 2009 11:42 PM Author: black school I've done a couple of film deals (basically copyright securitizations), but,IIRC, only seen Akin, Skadden and OMM on the other side. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1031145&forum_id=2#12129298) |

Date: June 30th, 2009 11:43 PM Author: Coral misunderstood sneaky criminal locale Do you consider those "peer firms"? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1031145&forum_id=2#12129305) |
|
Date: June 30th, 2009 11:54 PM Author: Alcoholic kitchen I'd consider that mainstream deals that happen to be entertainment rather than core practice. I doubt you'd see them outside of core practice as a small boutique. They just dont pull in the deals you're talking about.
Also, like I said, financing and acquisitions mostly from what I know. |

Date: June 30th, 2009 11:59 PM Author: black school Makes sense, though from what I understand securitizations and commercial bank revolvers have become a very large part of the film financing market, at least at the major studio level. You're definitely right that they're not that different than any other deal except that the IP team gets to bill the shit out of the deal, though.

Date: July 1st, 2009 12:22 AM Author: Alcoholic kitchen Huge part. Hedge funds have been mucking around there too. A number of the larger banks, like Soc-Gen, of sacked their film lending divisions though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1031145&forum_id=2#12129559) |

Date: June 30th, 2009 11:44 PM Author: canary wonderful stead so they have a good rep then? and are they just entertainment, or do they have general litigation too? |
|
Date: June 30th, 2009 11:56 PM Author: Alcoholic kitchen They're known for entertainment. They have other areas, but that's the flagship. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1031145&forum_id=2#12129379) |
