I have a general insight into his rates and they are more on par with MSK/DWT than MTO.

I don’t know if you’re an entertainment litigator, but a lot of (if not a majority of) entertainment copyright litigation is insurance based. Studios and prodcos insure the production of their content. So when they get a claim, the firm must charge the discounted insurance rate they have with the insurance company.

Obviously there are outliers, and MTO handles a lot of bet-the-company stuff for entertainment companies, but that is different from the average substantial similarity copyright/idea submission case that comes through the door.

The takeaway is that the best lawyers are not always the most expensive. To do purely copyright litigation for studios, you usually have to charge less than the average biglaw commercial litigator.

Hi all - asking for advice for a friend who resigned from his job (w/o job lined up) due to unethical and likely fraudulent actions leadership were taking. He tried to reason with the leadership team (c-suite, small company), but had no effect, so resigned since he would have to execute on those unethical/fraudulent decisions. He was only at this company for 3mo. He's looking for a new job and trying to figure out: what does he say when interviewers ask him why he left? Thank you in advance!

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?

General question, and I suspect the answer is no. Are there any employment or exec comp-related jobs in the entertainment industry?
