Career

Studios, networks, and tech companies rely on David Singer to handle their most high-profile disputes. Blockbuster movies and hit TV shows are valuable intellectual property, and David works collaboratively with clients to overcome the high-stakes legal challenges these assets often face.

Described by his clients as “intelligently aggressive,” David knows how to use an opponent’s strategy against them, flipping the script and blindsiding opposing counsel with counterattacks they do not expect. David believes his job is to reduce the pressure and stress on his clients. They praise him for being smart and effective and for his practical and realistic advice. They also appreciate his honest conversations with in-house counsel regarding potential business outcomes. David is constantly thinking about his clients' issues and is on call for them at all times.

In 2022, David represented Paramount Pictures, MTV, and the producers of the film Jackass Forever in a lawsuit brought by actor Bam Margera. Jenner & Block brought an anti-SLAPP motion, and the court struck Margera’s claims for injunctive relief, paving the way for an out of court settlement. The Los Angeles Times called David a "Legal Visionary." Just as important, his clients call him "fun to work with" — a rare tribute in settings where so much is on the line.

David serves as Co-Chair of the firm’s Content, Media, and Entertainment Practice.
