Get Right with the LucasFilm Legal Force: Entertainment, Intellectual Property and Employment Law

Speaker
Rhonda Hjort | Deputy Chief Counsel, Lucasfilm

What is it like to practice law “a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away?” Our guest Rhonda Hjort, Deputy Chief Counsel at Lucasfilm, will discuss what it's like to work in the General Counsel’s office of Marin’s most famous business. Rhonda Hjort’s key position with each Lucasfilm entity has demanded a rigorous global trotting schedule to protect Lucasfilm and its creative projects. Entertainment, employment, intellectual property are all handled through the Lucasfilm legal department, directly and sometimes in cooperation with outside counsel. Rhonda will also discuss the recent marriage between Lucasfilm and Disney.

This event is a unique opportunity to get a look inside the Lucas empire. The program will offer content for all practicing lawyers, regardless of your interest or area of practice. Please join us and bring your colleagues for an insightful program on strategic responses to some of Lucasfilm's legal challenges - protecting against hackers, foreign and domestic extortion, and a class action lawsuit claiming illegal wage fixing. Learn what Rhonda expects from her outside counsel.
