In an industry where creativity knows no bounds, the last thing artists and production companies should worry about is navigating the maze of entertainment law. Yet, for too long, legal complexities have weighed heavily on their shoulders, making it difficult to focus on what they do best—creating. That’s where Entertainment Lawyers of Los Angeles (ELLA) steps in to change the narrative.
Our founder, Iris Jackson, is a seasoned entertainment attorney with extensive experience working with production companies and studios. She understands these challenges firsthand. Having worked on acclaimed films like Friendship and 80 For Brady, as well as hit TV shows such as Love Is Blind and Married at First Sight, she has seen how legal roadblocks can stall creativity and derail projects.
