The Content, Media & Entertainment practice and its attorneys are widely recognized as among the best in the country. Selected as a "Practice Group of the Year: Media & Entertainment" by Law360 in 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2011, our CME lawyers are lauded for their headline grabbing work in industry changing matters. The CME practice was honored with the Chambers USA "Award for Excellence" in 2014 and 2012, recognizing Jenner & Block as the country's top Media & Entertainment law firm. The team is noted by Chambers USA as having “an outstanding reputation in the media and entertainment space, offering clients in the motion picture, television and music industries exceptional representation in precedent-setting litigation.” Client comments from the ranking also recognize the practice for its “unparalleled track record in media and entertainment litigation, particularly involving copyright and content protection issues.”

 

In 2015, The Legal 500 heralded Jenner & Block as the No. 1 copyright practice in the United States, marking the third time the firm has received this honor, and noting our practice as "a pre-eminent choice for copyright litigation"; "widely regarded as one of the elite class" of copyright practices; with a "looming presence in the entertainment industry" and a client base "dominated by A-list heavyweights in the entertainment field." Additionally, Managing Intellectual Property magazine previously named Jenner & Block the "National Copyright Firm of the Year" three years in a row, and most recently recognized the CME practice as the 2016 US Regional/Copyright East "Firm of the Year." We are also one of only 15 firms named to The National Law Journal's 2015 "Intellectual Property Hot List," largely on the strength of our CME work. 

 

In Variety's 2016 "Legal Impact Report," four CME partners were named to the prestigious list, while five made the list in 2015. The Report honors the year's top professionals in Hollywood's legal community and highlights the court battles and transactions that have changed the entertainment landscape. In 2016, Jenner & Block's four honorees were among only 22 litigators, while the five in 2015 were among only 26 litigators who received this recognition.
