Adam Streisand is known for high-profile victories in courtrooms across the U.S. He recently secured a landmark victory for Rupert Murdoch in the real-life “Succession” story, anointing as his successor son Lachlan to lead arguably the world’s most powerful media empire for decades to come.
As explained by the Los Angeles Business Journal: If you’ve seen it on HBO’s “Succession,” Adam Streisand has litigated it (and much more) in real life. Celebrities, musicians, pro sports franchises, athletes, and some of the world’s wealthiest individuals and families turn to Streisand for battles over inheritance, fiduciary conduct and business succession. While Streisand is known for his sweeping victories in high-profile courtroom battles involving celebrity estates, he has also become the go-to trial lawyer whenever the fate of a national sports franchise is on the line, including trust wars over control of the LA Lakers, LA Clippers, LA Chargers and Baltimore Orioles.
Streisand earned acclaim as Britney Spears’ first choice of attorney in her conservatorship case and is featured in The New York Times’ “Framing Britney Spears,” Netflix’s “Britney vs Spears,” Hulu’s “Controlling Britney Spears,” and Discovery+’s “Jamie Vs Britney: The Father Daughter Trials.”
As Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Streisand was the lawyer who … rescued both local NBA teams." Mr. Streisand’s trial victory for former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer against Donald Sterling resulted in Ballmer’s $2 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Clippers. But, as the Los Angeles Daily Journal explained, what captured the legal world completely by surprise was his "particularly adept legal gambit involving a rarely invoked clause of California’s probate code" that made it all happen. As the Los Angeles Times noted, two years later, “Adam Streisand carried the future of the Lakers into Room 629 at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. The veteran attorney is no stranger to high profile cases…. In a very real way, he [was] being asked to save the Lakers." As ESPN reported, “Jeanie Buss and her lawyer Adam Streisand won a decisive legal victory to prevent a coup attempt.”
