GLG Ventures/Gochman Law Group

What GLG Ventures/Gochman Law Group does

Gochman Law Group, PC is a boutique entertainment and media law firm headquartered at 9100 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills, California, operating under a California professional corporation structure. The firm employs three named attorneys — Mark A. Gochman, Andrew J. Gomez, and Daniel Yanni Moatamedi — and represents actors, writers, directors, and producers, as well as motion picture and television production companies, animation and visual effects firms, athletes and esports figures, and brand and IP owners. Service lines span traditional talent representation, creator representation across YouTube/podcasts/digital publishing, sports and gaming representation, animation/VFX counsel, merchandising and licensing, and corporate and branded entertainment, with strategic advising and consulting to media and media technology companies as a distinct offering.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven: it relies on personal referrals, industry reputation, and events, with light support from an Instagram channel (gochmanlawgroup) and individual attorney LinkedIn profiles. Pricing is custom and quote-based per engagement, with no public fee schedule. Marquee matters referenced include Top Gun: Maverick, Succession, Oppenheimer, Iron Man, Dunkirk, Belfast, Blue Bloods, and Death on a Nile, and Mark A. Gochman is cited for his role on the industry-changing Friends television series agreements. The firm operates globally despite its single Beverly Hills office.

Adjacent to the legal practice, GLG Ventures operates as a wholly-owned sub-brand that invests at the early stage in media technology startups powering next-generation communication and storytelling, and in some cases Gochman Law Group acts as general counsel to those portfolio companies. Disclosed investments include Novel Effect (also an Amazon Alexa Accelerator participant), Blue Fever, and a limited partnership in BAM Ventures. The firm is founder-led, privately held, with no external institutional investment or parent entity.
