Jill Basinger<\/a> has joined Stris & Maher LLP to lead its Media, Entertainment and Sports Litigation practice from the Los Angeles office. She will work to leverage the firm\u2019s nationwide platform to serve clients wherever needed.<\/p>\n\n\tBasinger spent more than a decade as a partner at Glaser Weil LLP, where she represented actors, showrunners, broadcasters, journalists, writers, producers, financiers, agents, and agencies.<\/p>\n
\n\tWorking closely with trial lawyer Patty Glaser, Basinger represented such entertainment and business leaders as Snoop Dogg, Keith Olbermann, ICM and PIMCO\u2019s Bill Gross. Her practice has spanned defamation, contracts, commission and profit-participation disputes, publicity and privacy rights, intellectual property, employee mobility and sensitive internal investigations \u2014 often in matters with significant public exposure.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cToday\u2019s media, entertainment and sports disputes don\u2019t lend themselves to a process-heavy law-firm model,\u201d Basinger said. \u201cThey often present reputational and commercial risk at the highest levels, requiring\u00a0proven litigation\u00a0judgment, deep industry fluency and a strategic understanding of how to move the right levers in order to win. Stris & Maher is built for exactly that kind of work.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tFollowing her time at Glaser Weil, Basinger served as the first Chief Legal Officer of Discovery Land Company, the leading global developer and operator of luxury private residential communities and resorts. There she led enterprise-wide legal strategy and advised the company on complex litigation, corporate governance, major transactions and regulatory matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cJill has spent her career handling some of America\u2019s best-known disputes\u2014and delivering results,\u201d Stris & Maher Managing Partner Elizabeth Brannen said. \u201cFrom the courtroom to the boardroom, Jill\u2019s approach aligns perfectly with how Stris & Maher serves its clients \u2014 our senior lawyers stay hands-on at every stage, we litigate with a strategy-first mindset, and we remain relentlessly focused on achieving the best possible outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
