LOS ANGELES – Prominent entertainment attorney Schuyler (Sky) M. Moore has joined Greenberg Glusker as a Partner in its Entertainment Practice. Widely regarded as a go-to advisor for sophisticated film, television, and new media financing deals, Mr. Moore comes to Greenberg Glusker from Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP’s Los Angeles office.  Sky is joined by his entire team, including his colleagues Sally C.

"He is an invaluable addition to any entertainment firm, especially during these times of tectonic shifts in our business and its rapid convergence with technology. There is no better lawyer to navigate the uncharted waters of entertainment’s future than Sky.”

In recent years, Sky’s developed a niche practice in Hollywood-China partnerships, representing the likes of Alibaba Pictures, Pegasus Media Group and Leomus Pictures.
