The market-leading US copyright team at Latham & Watkins LLP leverages the bench strength of a global presence spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to advise a client roster of major multinationals across such sectors as entertainment, tech, art, and generative AI, on high-stakes infringement litigation, including household names Spotify, Johnson & Johnson, and Live Nation. The practice is led by veteran IP litigators Andrew Gass in San Francisco and Sy Damle in Washington DC, who were lead counsels representing the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts in a widely-covered US Supreme Court case related to the “fair use” of copyrighted content and who are currently defending both OpenAI and Anthropic in widely-covered cases over alleged infringement, along with Digital Millennium Copyright Act expert Allison Levine Stillman in New York, and Joe Wetzel (also San Francisco), a specialist in the music and software sectors. Other key figures include tech litigation specialists Elana Nightingale Dawson at the DC office, and Britt Lovejoy in San Francisco. Gabe Fleet, who arrived at the New York office from broadcasting company iHeartMedia, joined the firm in March 2023.
