Passion. Experience. Diligence.
I have focused my practice on motion pictures and branded content, representing award-winning filmmakers, scriptwriters, producers and content providers making great work over a variety of platforms. After working for a large firm for a few years, I’m happy and lucky to be able to work as an independent attorney with independent filmmakers in NYC.
I’ve been immersed in the documentary filmmaking world for many years, where, in addition to my legal practice, I’ve worked with a variety of organizations important to filmmakers.
Secretary, Board of Directors of the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival
Pro bono general counsel of the Video Consortium.
Secretary, Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Film Festival since 2010,
Co-founder of the BFF Exchange
I’ve spoken on legal issues related to independent filmmaking at the Camden International Film Festival, the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, Brooklyn Filmmakers’ Collective, FilmShop, Hunter College, and the Made in NY Media Center (RIP!).
I’m admitted to practice in New York State, the Federal Courts of the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, and am a member of the New York City Bar Association. Fordham Law (J.D.) and Brown (A.B. in Comparative Literature and Italian).
Outside of my law practice, I serve on the board of directors of Bike New York, which is a great organization you should learn about and support.
In 2023 I produced a documentary about the cycling team EF Pro Cycling’s 2020 season, entitled Enter the Slipstream, available on Peacock, Amazon, and Apple TV. Watch it and let me know what you think!
