General question, and I suspect the answer is no. Are there any employment or exec comp-related jobs in the entertainment industry? Or, are there any law firms purely focused on entertainment that have a comp/employment/benefits group? I’m at a large firm with a lot of high profile artists, but I’d like to narrow my practice down to entertainment.

Not in my experience. We are a boutique firm and our practice areas include exec comp employment matters, but it’s not a group solely focused on that area.

Agreed

The majors and other big companies have L&E departments. You could maybe also try working at an agency or even being an agent/manager. But as far as law firms go I’d suspect you can focus on entertainment or focus on employment but not both.

I dunno. We are a boutique and exec comp is part of our range of services. Note that except for C-suite, exec comp deals for industry folks are often done by entertainment transactional lawyers at a reduced rate or gratis. Part of the culture as it were. Ironically, employment separation for exec side is not.
