Alex Yousefzadeh Named to Variety’s 2025 Class of “New Leaders”
The firm is pleased to announce that Alex Yousefzadeh was recently named among Variety’s “New Leaders,” an annual list of 41 entertainment industry professionals under 40 at the cutting-edge of Hollywood’s most high-profile deals, projects, and endeavors.
Alex’s profile highlights his work as clearance legal, including conducting personal rights reviews and fair use counsel, for production companies including Kunhardt Films (“The Silent Witness”), Altimeter Films (“Carvile: Winning Is Everything, Stupid”), and XTR (“Diane Warren: Relentless”).
Alex tells Variety that when examining fair use with his clients, he often asks questions including “What is the potential for a claim that insurance is going to feel comfortable writing a policy for and defending against?” and “Is this something that we can potentially bring within various parameters by making modifications to it so it’s transformative enough that there won’t be actual significant market harm?”
