Seyfarth Brings On Glaser Weil RE, Entertainment Pro In LA

September 30, 2026 - 17:18

Seyfarth Shaw LLP has expanded its Los Angeles office with the addition of a lawyer who focuses on the overlap between real estate and entertainment work. The attorney joins the firm from Glaser Weil Fink Howard Jordan & Shapiro LLP, bringing experience that spans two sectors that frequently intersect in Southern California.

The move reflects a broader trend among large law firms looking to deepen their benches in practice areas that serve clients in the entertainment capital. Real estate disputes, production leases, studio soundstage negotiations, and location agreements often require counsel who understand both property law and the unique demands of film, television, and digital media production.

Seyfarth has been building out its Los Angeles presence in recent years, and the addition signals continued investment in the region. The attorney's background at Glaser Weil included work on matters involving commercial landlords, production companies, and entertainment clients navigating complex property transactions.

Legal industry observers note that demand for lawyers fluent in both real estate and entertainment has grown as streaming platforms compete for studio space and production facilities. Firms that can offer combined expertise in these areas are better positioned to capture that business.

The new hire will work alongside Seyfarth's existing real estate and entertainment teams in the downtown office.
