Loeb & Loeb is proud to announce that David Grossman, co-chair of the firm’s Litigation department, has been selected by the Daily Journal for inclusion in the publication’s annual “Top 100 Lawyers” list for 2024, which honors leading lawyers on the front line of the legal industry in California.
In an accompanying profile, David is highlighted for his comprehensive litigation practice, spanning from real estate and business to intellectual property and advertising. The publication notes that he is best known “for his work in entertainment-related litigation, including copyright, idea theft and contract matters, which he said is as much as 80% of his work.”
One of David’s recent representations includes successfully defending Paramount Pictures in a copyright dispute against the estate of Truman Capote over the rights to the 1961 Audrey Hepburn film, "Breakfast at Tiffany's." In the case, David effectively demonstrated that the plaintiff had consistently recognized over two decades that Paramount, as opposed to the Capote trust, owned the film rights.
"It was an extremely good result," David told the Daily Journal. "At the end of the day, the contract was very clear, and … both sides of the case knew that."
Other recent representations noted in David’s Daily Journal profile include defending Morgan Creek Entertainment in a contractual matter related to the creation of the Amazon Prime Video series “Dead Ringers,” and routinely representing Vanessa Bryant, the widow of the late Kobe Bryant, in litigation concerning her late husband’s legacy commercial interests, IP assets and more.
