Sacker Entertainment Law (SEL) provides high level A-to-Z business and legal services for financiers, production companies, individual producers, talent, and distributors across film, episodic series, animation, digital, and podcasting. In addition, SEL is unique among entertainment law firms as it takes an active role in helping its clients build and grow their businesses.

With over three decades of experience in the entertainment industry, first as an attorney and then as a hybrid attorney-executive, Neil Sacker (Cornell ’83, Yale Law ’86) left the partnership of a corporate law firm in 2022 to create Sacker Entertainment Law, PC, a boutique entertainment law firm based out of Los Angeles, California. Our firm addresses inefficiencies in traditional representation of the entertainment industry by providing customized services that meaningfully contribute to our clients’ business and creative success.

Sacker Entertainment Law takes a holistic approach to the representation of its clients, from flexible alternative fee arrangements to leveraging our decades of industry experience and personal network of industry leaders in order to provide hands-on, effective business, legal and business development services.

We now offer comprehensive legal services across film, television, animation, podcasting and digital content, leveraging our collective industry experience and extensive network of relationships and contacts.  Neil Sacker works closely with all of our clients to help them to achieve their creative and business goals.  Our team at SEL is comprised of an extraordinary group of attorneys who are hard-working, smart and efficient.

 

Finally, our mission at SEL extends beyond the negotiation table and legal documentation; it's about mentorship, community building, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.
