Professional Advisory Network

PAN is our elite group of entertainment industry advisors.

Our Professional Advisory Network (PAN) is a dynamic group of attorneys, business managers, CPA’s, financial planners, and wealth managers with clients in the entertainment and sports industry. PAN is intended to be a resource for the professional advisory community to better serve their entertainment industry clients on the news and services we offer.

Pan Q3 2024Our 3rd Quarter PAN mixer took place on August 7, 2024, focusing on “Monetizing Participation Rights: Helping Talent Unlock the Value of Income Streams,” at McDermott Will & Emery. We learned how talent representatives can maximize value for their clients in today’s challenging film and TV industry, including ways to maximize value through negotiation of deals on new projects, consider selling (or borrowing against) profit participation, and taking advantage of profit participation and royalty audit rights. Speakers included Leigh Brecheen, Partner at Brecheen, Feldman, Breimer, Silver & Thompson | John Mass, President of Content Partners | Ilan Haimoff, Partner at Green Hasson Janks.
