Jim Meza of WarnerMedia

Jim Meza is no stranger to integrating new business lines following major M&A transactions, with his prior role in AT&T’s legal department requiring him to handle legal issues for the company’s entertainment group following the USD67 billion purchase of DIRECTV. His current position, as general counsel to AT&T subsidiary WarnerMedia, sees him handle its broad spectrum of transactional, IP and disputes work, in addition to handling the company’s assimilation into the broader AT&T family after their USD85 billion merger. Meza also played a key role in defending the transaction against antitrust proceedings launched by the US Department of Justice seeking to enjoin the deal, playing a key role in a legal team which secured victories over the regulatory authorities both at trial and upon appeal. Meza’s actions win him the approval of market commentators, with one source reporting: “He’s tireless and he’s a visionary. He worked incredibly hard and really thought strategically every step of the way in terms of the team’s structure and what to prioritise.”
