About Attorney Awards

At Singer Weinsten Wolf & Jonelis (formerly Lavely & Singer), our attorneys are known throughout Los Angeles and the rest of the world as problem solvers, and for our aggressive, successful entertainment and business law litigation practice. Our attorneys are routinely profiled in national publications and ranked as global leaders in media, entertainment and business litigation. Daily Journal has named the firm (renamed in 2026 from Lavely & Singer) one of the top boutiques in California. Since 1980, our clients have relied on us to protect their rights, preserve their reputations and solve their problems.

The Bulldogs Of Entertainment And Business Law

Singer Weinsten Wolf & Jonelis (formerly Lavely & Singer) has a well-earned premier reputation. We are known as and are tough, relentless entertainment and business litigation attorneys. We do not let up. When someone tries to take advantage of or hurt our clients, we make it a point to go on the offensive and fight for our clients using every resource and problem-solving strategy available.

We are here to protect our clients. Some of the biggest names in entertainment and business have learned to rely on us in their most difficult moments. We have come through for them. The things that matter most are our client’s name and reputation, which deserve all the protections the law can offer.

Our Clients’ Legal Needs

Our clients’ legal needs fall broadly into two categories. First, we represent clients against media and internet outlets in disputes that arise prior to, as well as after, the publication of articles that defame the client or invade their privacy. We proactively protect and enforce our clients’ intellectual property rights and police how our clients’ names and likenesses are commercially exploited throughout the world.

Second, we represent clients in the resolution and litigation of a broad range of entertainment industry and business disputes, including copyright and other intellectual property matters, contract breaches, business torts, as well as real estate law and employment law disputes. Our aggressive and effective pre-litigation strategies and litigation style have earned us a tremendous and well-earned reputation for successfully representing talent, high-net-worth individuals and businesses throughout the world.
