Sony Pictures Entertainment General Counsel Leah Weil to Retire After Nearly 30 Years
Sony Pictures Entertainment general counsel Leah Weil is exiting her role after almost three decades with the company.
Per Sony Pictures Entertainment chief Tony Vinciquerra’s Tuesday memo to staff, Weil will continue to serve as general counsel for the studio for the next few months and will support a transition to her successor, who has not yet been named. I will deeply miss being an active part of the community we have built, but I am excited about the future and having the time to turn my attention back to things and relationships that have so often been pushed aside while I have been focused on the press of work.” From leading our efforts on historic and transformative deals, having a key role in hundreds of projects and strategic initiatives, playing an integral part of the studio’s transformation into the digital age, to guiding SPE through challenging crises such as the 2014 cyber-attack and the global COVID pandemic, to leading our efforts in the historic and extraordinarily challenging WGA and SAG-AFTRA negotiations this year, to overseeing and executing the myriad day-to-day transactions that are critical to keeping all our businesses thriving.
