Davoli Law Firm

David was a total rock star through and through. He took everything daunting and stressful about the legal aspect of starting our production company and made it not only painless, but actually quite enjoyable! Here is an attorney not only incredibly capable and sensitive to a company’s needs, but one who has great talent for entertainment law, too. After several bad experiences working with two separate large firms in the past it felt like we struck gold meeting David. He took the time to get to know our company and what mattered to us, and the whole experience felt remarkably personal and considerate. We can rest easily knowing that we have David in our corner for any of our future projects, and we would highly recommend him to anyone working in the film industry at any capacity!

I cannot say enough positive things about David and his legal service. I recently had a tough negotiation with The Weintstein Company and David went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with the process as we went back and forth with TWC for months. David advised great strategy in the negotiation process that resulted in a very good deal for my production company. It's clear David has a lot of experience in the entertainment industry and cares for his clients and their needs. In the middle of our TWC deal we also began negotiations with Disney on a deal that was on the opposite end of the spectrum and David handled it quickly, with ease. Both deals closed and I believe a lot of the reason they did was because David was involved in the entire process. I highly recommend him!

David Davoli of the Davoli Law Firm has been representing my interests since 2008. David has represented me as a writer and producer in film and television and has worked diligently to secure and protect my intellectual property. In the course of business he has both drafted and negotiated deal memos and long form documents including: option/purchase agreements; collaboration agreements; work-for-hire writer agreements; producer and executive producer letters of engagement; finder’s fee agreements; and consulting agreements. In each and every instance David employs expertise, acumen and the utmost integrity. He provides shrewd counsel during all phases of negotiations and he has a keen sense of when talks are approaching “deal fatigue” and it’s time to close. David is also prompt, direct and very clear with all of his correspondence and I always feel that he is diligently focused on finding solutions for the matters at hand. I fully endorse David Davoli as a significantly skilled entertainment attorney and I continually recommend him to any writer, producer, director, or actor seeking professional counsel.

I had no idea where to start regarding legal help when a production company offered me an attachment agreement for a realty television project I produced. I spoke to several attorneys, including a couple at large firms, before connecting with David. He was the first attorney who made me feel that I could be treated fairly as a first-time independent producer and earn money from the project. David was very responsive and easy to work with. I recommend him highly!

David is clearly an expert in the media industry. He represented me and negotiated a complicated contract with a major motion picture studio, and ended up getting me a better deal than what I could have ever hoped for. His level of attention to detail is not something I could have gotten from one of the larger firms. I highly recommend David.

David was referred to our production company by our agent and has been the perfect addition to our team. He is professional, makes himself available promptly and answers all our questions without making us feel silly for asking so many! We recommend the Davoli Law Firm wholeheartedly!
