Meet Hollywood’s In-House Legal Elite: Attorneys at Netflix, Sony, Universal, Disney and More
These in-house Hollywood attorneys help guide their companies through some rocky times as well as ink lucrative pacts and take the best path forward.
“Securing the rights to extend legacy films like ‘Happy Gilmore’ and ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ present their own set of legal challenges,” Dormer says, “but it’s an exciting opportunity to breathe new life into these beloved characters and stories and give audiences more of what they love.” When Paik and Goldberg are crafting Wondery’s podcast deals for shows such as Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s “Armchair Expert,” and Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” (worth a reported $100 million-plus), one of the key components is the synergies offered by parent company Amazon. Today, she leads a global team of approximately 75 lawyers and legal staff for USG’s 100-plus active series, ranging from the Dick Wolf-produced “Law & Order” and “One Chicago” franchises to Max’s “Hacks” and Peacock’s “We Are Lady Parts,” as well as its rights acquisitions, talent agreements and outbound licenses to more than 25 platforms around the globe.
