“I’m thrilled to be launching a new firm with this amazing group of talented lawyers who work so well together and who have the skills, knowledge and a shared vision of how best to represent our diverse clients in this ever changing media landscape,” said Brecheen. “We share the same philosophy and approach when it comes to representing our clients at the highest level. We have had many wonderful years with our colleagues at Bloom Hergott and wish them all well with their new endeavor.”

Said Feldman: “I could not be more excited to continue my partnership with Leigh, Stephen, Richard and Ashley in this new endeavor as we enter into a new year. I have the utmost respect for them as lawyers and more importantly, as people. Our collective and complementary skills allow us to service the ever growing diverse interests of our wide range of talented clients.”
