Ramo Law

Transactional

The trio worked some Imagine Entertainment films (including Lin-Manuel Miranda-directed “Tick, Tock … Boom!”) and legal affairs for Solution Entertainment’s Liam Neeson actioner “Honest Thief.” Ramo advises production companies and up-and-coming female directors, auteurs and showrunners, including Liza Mandelup (Sundance’s “Jawline”). Chang handles sales agents, producers, and docuseries. Canchola focuses on film and scripted TV. With binge watching, limited TV series, short form and unscripted elbowing into Hollywood’s consciousness, “content is having an existential crisis,” muses Ramo.

Looks Like Fun: “As an argumentative 7-year-old, I wanted to be lawyer after watching law shows,” says Canchola.
