MAY 1, 2015 – Kelli Sager and Alonzo Wickers, partners in the Los Angeles office of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, have once again been named to The Hollywood Reporter’s annual list of "the top 100 entertainment attorneys in America." This is Wickers’ fifth year on the "Power Lawyers" list. Sager has been recognized every year since the inaugural list in 2007.
The "Power Lawyers" were honored at a breakfast this week in Beverly Hills.
The magazine described Sager as "a First Amendment specialist" and noted her defense of clients in "theft-of-ideas" cases, including a lawsuit against NBCUniversal involving the film “The Purge.” The magazine also recognized her work on behalf of The Los Angeles Times to force jurisdictions to disclose under state public records law the names of police officers involved in shootings.
Wickers was cited for his work defending Electronic Arts in trailblazing right-of-publicity cases, as well as his representation of Showtime in a lawsuit stemming from an episode of the reality series "All Access" that featured the boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
