Honorees this year include Chad Fitzgerald of Kinsella Holley, Irwin Kishner of Herrick and Nina Shaw of Del Shaw Moonves.

We are honored to introduce The 2026 Lawdragon 500 Leading Global Entertainment, Sports & Media Lawyers.

From golf mergers to fashion patent brawls, mega media sales and disputes over creative capital, the past year has been a busy one for lawyers in the Entertainment, Sports and Media arenas. As Hollywood rearranges itself, athletes are becoming influencers and sports betting is butting up against regulations, lawyers are at the center of it all, protecting brands, advising on ownership rights and investments, and heading off legal and reputational risk for globally recognized individuals. 

Chad Fitzgerald of Kinsella Holley regularly represents the glitterati of Los Angeles – as well as the power players behind the scenes. He is the man to call for television profit participation audits, and has taken on some of the biggest networks on behalf of creators, including the legendary sitcom creator Chuck Lorre.

Irwin Kishner of Herrick is the first call for the decision makers at a large number of sports dynasties considering any kind of merger, acquisition or financing deal. He was an integral part of the formation of two of the nation's largest regional sports networks, and has handled negotiations for the NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS teams. Read our profile on this dealmaking dynamo here

Nina Shaw of Del Shaw Moonves is a legend for high-powered creatives, a pioneer for inclusion and representation of women and Black creators. Ta-Nehisi Coates, Lupita Nyong’o and Raoul Peck are among the luminaries who have been known to call Shaw for advice, legal or otherwise, as they navigate complex deal structures behind some of the most impactful cultural projects in recent decades. 

We selected this guide through our time-honed process combining independent research, vetting with peers and nominations. Members of our Hall of Fame are denoted with an asterisk.
