Greenberg Glusker today announced that the Legal 500 US edition, a peer-to-peer directory of commercial law firms in the United States, has recognized Greenberg Glusker’s entertainment practice as among the best in the country. 

“We truly appreciate the high esteem in which our clients and contacts hold us,” said Greenberg Glusker’s Managing Partner Norman H. Levine.  “Furthermore, we congratulate the entertainment and media boutique firms who have also been recognized for providing excellent legal and client services.”

The 2008 directory highlights Greenberg Glusker’s representation of some of the biggest names--talent, production companies, studios and video-game publishers--in Hollywood, providing them with full-service capabilities ranging from tax, estate planning and real estate to entertainment transactions and litigation.  Greenberg Glusker entertainment lawyers Bert Fields, Stephen Smith and Jeffrey Spitz are mentioned in the listing by name, as are estate planning lawyer Jon Gallo and business lawyer Jill Cossman.

“Within the last few years, we have worked diligently to build a video game practice,” said Stephen Smith whose entertainment practice focuses heavily on the representation of video game publishers.  “The 2008 directory is particularly exciting as it’s the first time the Legal 500 US has recognized such a niche practice.”

During 2008, Greenberg Glusker has been endorsed by Chambers USA as the top "Media & Entertainment" law firm, by the Daily Journal as having one of California’s top women litigators (Bonnie Eskenazi), and by California Real Estate Journal as one of California's major real estate law firms.
