Founding Partner
One of the deans of Los Angeles’ entertainment law community, with more than five and a half decades as an attorney under his belt, Ziffren remains a busy dealmaker. In September 2022, he represented Sidney Kimmel and SK Global Entertainment (“Crazy Rich Asians”) in the nine-figure sale of a majority stake in the independent film and TV finance company to Centricus. He closed deals for Jay Leno to host a reboot of “You Bet Your Life” for Fox and new projects for WildBrain (“Peanuts”) with Apple TV+, and he negotiated a new agreement for Tennis Channel execs Ken Solomon and Bill Simon with Sinclair Broadcast Group. And he did all this while continuing his ongoing work for AMPAS, the DGA and the Ziffren Institute for Media, Entertainment, Technology and Sports at UCLA School of Law.
