Jonathan Handel’s Summary
I'm Of Counsel at TroyGould (troygould.com) and practice digital media, entertainment and technology law. I'm equally at home in all of these industries. For instance, I've worked at the Writers Guild and at a small boutique law firm representing movie stars and directors - and have even taught film appreciation classes - but I've also worked in the computer business, prior to law school.
I previously clerked on the U.S. Court of Appeals (5th Cir.), and also served as a federal Associate Independent Counsel in an investigation relating to the search of Presidential candidate Clinton's passport files. Early in my career, I practiced appellate and commercial litigation.
