Leadership in Law
In 2010, Loeb & Loeb was awarded the prestigious Chambers Award for Excellence in Media, one of the highest honors that a firm can receive in this area. Additionally, our Entertainment and Media Group once again received high praise in the annual Chambers USA Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, which ranks lawyers and law practices through interviews with clients and competitors. Loeb & Loeb ranked in the top band of U.S. law firms in the areas of Transactional Media and Entertainment, Film, Music, Television and Theater. In addition, the firm was noted for its excellence in Transactional and Regulatory Advertising, Transactional Talent, Media and Entertainment Litigation and Copyright and Contract Disputes. Fourteen entertainment and media partners were individually recognized by Chambers in 2010 for their achievements within these categories.
As quoted by Chambers, “Loeb & Loeb is nationally renowned in the media and entertainment area, with leading practices on both coasts.” Client references in the 2010 Chambers USA Guide say that our “‘lawyers bring a wealth of experience to the table and are completely focused on the entertainment industry.’”
Woodward/White, Inc.’s The Best Lawyers in America® and Lawdragon 500: New Stars, New Worlds have also recognized Loeb & Loeb’s entertainment and media practice as among the best.
