Role Requirements • Looking for partners in Trust & Estates in Florida, Texas, or New York, with a focus on high net worth clients. • Seeking a music entertainment lawyer on the talent side in Nashville.

Candidate Requirements • Must have expertise in high net worth Trust & Estates or talent-side Entertainment law. • Experience in patent litigation, prosecution, or corporate transactional work, particularly fund formation, is desirable.

Why candidates should join Why Rimon's Entertainment Practice is Different:

•	Talent-Side Only: We exclusively represent artists and creators - never studios or labels. No conflicts with your existing client relationships.
•	Flexible Billing That Works: We get creative industry economics. Our rates work for talent deals that big firms can't touch anymore.
•	Full-Service Platform: Your entertainment clients need T&E planning? Tax structuring? Real estate deals? We've got nationally recognized teams in-house. No more referring out revenue.
•	High-Profile Client Base: We represent Dave Grohl and other A-list talent. You'll join an established practice with serious credibility.
•	Geographic Flexibility: Especially interested in Nashville presence but open to the right candidate anywhere in key entertainment markets.
•	Proven Integration Track Record: We've successfully brought in entire teams from McDermott and Aiken Gump. We know how to make lateral moves work.
•	Entrepreneurial Culture: Partner-level autonomy with big firm resources. Best of both worlds without the bureaucracy.

Position Summary

Rimon is seeking an Entertainment Partner to join and further expand its talent-side entertainment practice. This position is intended for an established entertainment lawyer with a portable practice or strong client relationships who is interested in growing within a collaborative, conflicts-aware firm.

The incoming partner will work alongside other experienced entertainment lawyers and will have access to deep internal support across trusts & estates, tax, real estate, intellectual property, and corporate practices. This role offers the opportunity to provide comprehensive, long-term legal counsel to creative clients whose needs extend well beyond individual deals.

Key Responsibilities

•	Lead and grow a partner-level talent-side entertainment practice
•	Represent individual clients in music, film, television, and digital media matters
•	Negotiate and structure recording, publishing, touring, endorsement, licensing, and branding agreements
•	Advise talent on film and television development, production, and distribution matters from the individual’s perspective
•	Counsel creators, influencers, and digital talent on content, monetization, and platform agreements
•	Provide ongoing career strategy, deal analysis, and risk management advice
•	Collaborate with firm partners in trusts & estates, tax, real estate, IP, and corporate law to support clients holistically
•	Contribute to the continued growth and reputation of Rimon’s entertainment practice

What to ask candidates • Can you walk me through the core of your entertainment practice today—what types of talent you primarily represent and in which sectors (music, film/TV, digital, etc.)? • How would you describe the maturity of your client base—emerging talent versus established or high-profile individuals? • Are there particular deal types or industries where you are most active or best known? • Do you exclusively represent talent, or do you also represent studios, labels, production companies, or other industry entities? • Are there any conflicts in your current practice that materially limit the types of talent you can represent? • How portable do you view your practice if you were to make a move, and why? What percentage of your clients do you believe would follow you to a new platform? • Are there any structural limitations—rates, conflicts, internal competition—that make it harder to serve your clients or grow? • Can the candidate be on-site? If not, is the candidate willing to relocate? • What is their salary expectation? • How actively are they recruiting?
