SmithDehn LLP

With creative personnel in offices as diverse in location as Manhattan, London, and India, and with hundreds of media and other clients on either side of the Atlantic and in Asia as well, our parent law firm, SmithDehn LLP, is a national and international law firm that delivers top-tier service, while simultaneously meeting the needs and the budgets of companies and individuals, in ways that few large firms can. SmithDehn's practice originated in 1996, after Russell Smith, a partner of Frankfurt, Garbus, Klein & Selz (now Frankfurt, Kurnit, Klein & Selz), left that firm to move to the coastal town of East Hampton, New York and create a different kind of law firm. Several of our attorneys practiced under the name of Smith Dornan & Dehn PC ("SDD"), until 2008, when Russell and his SDD colleague Frank Dehn, along with SDD's Mike Cleaver, international media transactions specialist Alex Hannell in London, former NBC and CBS television in-house counsel Benton Levy, former Chicago Mercantile Exchange in-house counsel Patricia Holland, New York trial lawyer Kwarma Vanderpuye, and U.S. immigration law expert Priya Kumar joined to form the current new firm, SmithDehn LLP. The firm is now among the counsel of choice for the film and television production industries, from Hollywood to New York, London, Dublin, and Mumbai. In particular, members of the firm have been called upon to represent nearly a dozen television series, several of the most significant motion pictures in recent years, as well as clients such as HBO, Sony Pictures, ITV, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Channel Four Television, Coquette Productions (the production company founded by Courteney Cox Arquette and David Arquette), Talkback Thames Productions, Lion Television, Tiger Aspect Productions, and over 100 other media companies. The firm's attorneys also have been libel defense counsel for several newspapers, and counsel for many other clients in the television, motion picture, music, publishing, fashion, information technology, and other industries.
