Skip Brittenham was a founding partner of Ziffren Brittenham LLP.

He represented top-tier actors, directors, producers, writers and personalities.  Skip was a pioneer of the modern entertainment transactional law practice, in which the aggregate dollar amount of his deals, including the acquisition and sale of media companies, financing film slates and other media projects, has averaged over $1 billion annually for the past decade.  He represented independent studios, major studios top brass, animation companies, motion picture production companies, and entertainment conglomerates.  He supervised numerous successful public offerings of media companies.

His innovative deal-making continually challenged and altered common assumptions about distribution deals, talent deals, cross-platform deals, emerging digital media contracts, celebrity/product endorsements, and more.  He was also active in venture capital investments.

Skip is survived by his wife, actress and screenwriter, Heather Thomas and his three daughters, Kristina Lynn, Shauna Leigh and India Rose.
