Variety‘s annual Power of Law breakfast, presented by City National Bank, featured speakers discussing the radical changes that have rocked the entertainment industry in recent years and how insiders are adapting to the uncertainty surrounding Hollywood.
The event honored Cliff Gilbert-Lurie, Ziffren Brittenham LLP co-managing and senior partner, with the Power of Law Award recognizing his long career and his impressive track record of philanthropic work in Los Angeles County and beyond.
The event also celebrated those profiled in Variety‘s annual Legal Impact Report, which recognizes transactional and litigation attorneys working in media and entertainment.
Dea Lawrence, Variety‘s chief operating and marketing officer, opened the morning at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills remarks by acknowledging the significance of the legal eagles gathered. “The lawyers in this room this morning are the best people to help us navigate the dramatic changes the entertainment industry has been experiencing this past year,” Lawrence said. “With the industry striking, shuttering, consolidating, and acquiring, entertainment attorneys are, alongside arbitrating and deal-making, increasingly shaping the future of our industry, and for that, we are very grateful.” Kelly Coffey, chief executive officer of City National Entertainment, touched on audiences’ appetites for in-theater movies after the success of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” last summer and how AI and IP will evolve in the upcoming years. “Nothing gets done in Hollywood without all the people sitting in this room,” Coffey said. “And if recent trends in Hollywood are any indication, we have a lot to look forward to and we have a lot of work to do together.” Coffey handed it off to Var.
