Drawing on his background as a creative producer, Geoff Lee focuses his legal practice on facilitating his clients’ vision, providing them with the legal tools to actualize their ideas for mediums of all types. Lee is general counsel for non-fiction and premium docu-series production companies such as Skydance Sports, Scout Productions, Boardwalk Pictures, and Campfire Studios and negotiates lucrative network deals for his clients’ large scale productions. As production counsel, Lee specializes in high profile, talent driven productions such as “Legendary” with Keke Palmer and Jameela Jamil, “The Big Brunch” starring Dan Levy, “Rennervations” with Jeremy Renner, and “Welcome to Wrexham” following Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElnenny’s purchase of a Welsh football team.
Outside of production legal, Lee focuses on securing strategic branding opportunities between the consumer products and film/television industries, representing clients such as Imagine Brands and Karl Lagerfeld BV, as well as structuring non-traditional financing of entertainment projects through sales of NFTs on the blockchain. As part of Lee’s brands practice, he focuses on negotiating partnerships between various brands and producers to create lifestyle centric media with elevated commercial and merchandising opportunities.
Geoff was recently recognized by the Los Angeles Times as a Legal Visionary and Variety as one of Hollywood’s New Leaders of 2022, and represented Boardwalk Pictures alongside Managing Partner Elsa Ramo in Boardwalk’s sale of a minority interest to Shamrock Capital.
In 2017, Geoff’s article “Go Fund Yourself: Navigating SEC Crowdfunding Regulations to Finance Feature Films” was published in the inaugural issue of Georgetown University’s Entertainment and Media Alliance Law Review.
