Miles Cooley has a record of winning both in and out of the courtroom. He is recognized as a trusted advisor, effective negotiator, and aggressive advocate handling both litigation and transactional matters, across a wide breadth of legal disciplines. This has established him as a go-to legal advisor for clients including entertainers and celebrities, entertainment and media entities, major multi-national, mid-size and start-up businesses in various industries, as well as high-net-worth individuals, families and family offices, many of whom he has represented in an outside General Counsel capacity.
Throughout Miles’s career, he has successfully handled a wide variety of entertainment disputes and transactions, contract, employment, intellectual property, trade secret and partnership disputes, as well as business tort, unfair competition and real estate litigation for his local, national and international clients. He also has significant experience representing sports franchises, film and television creatives, and social media and cultural influencers.
In addition to handling trials, arbitrations, and mediations for his clients, Miles also helps his clients navigate what is often a daunting legal process, providing pre-litigation counseling on business strategy, public-relations advice, and effective crisis management. Clients turn to Miles for his ability to resolve problems and disputes without ever exposing them to the risk and expense of litigation.
