NEW YORK, December 3, 2021 – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, is pleased to share that Sandra (“Sandy”) Crawshaw-Sparks, a partner in the Firm’s Litigation Department, and Chair of the Firm’s Copyright, Entertainment & Media Practice Group, was named one of New York’s Top 20 Entertainment Attorneys by The Hollywood Reporter (“THR”) as part of its annual Power Lawyers 2021 list. THR’s New York Power Lawyers list spotlights the most influential attorneys with specialties in theater, fashion, media and music litigation who are based in New York City.
A well-known and respected litigator in the entertainment field for more than 30 years, Sandy has represented the most iconic names in the music business in matters involving recording, publishing, licensing and management contracts, copyright and trademark infringement cases, unfair competition claims, and the rights of privacy and publicity.
Sandy, who maintains a bi-coastal practice, routinely negotiates pre-litigation resolutions of highly sensitive and confidential entertainment-related disputes, protecting her clients and their reputations from unwarranted public scrutiny.
Each year, THR's editors intensively research and choose the top 100 attorneys who are negotiating the industry's biggest deals and handling its most significant litigation for its annual Power Lawyers list. The New York Power Lawyers list is an extension of that franchise, and recognizes no more than two lawyers from any one law firm.
