About Us
The future of law isn't about billing more hours — it's about knowing when AI can do the job and when you need a seasoned attorney.
Our Story
Founded in 2022 by senior partners from leading global law firms, Crestline Global Partners represents a new approach to legal counsel for the entertainment, media, and technology industries.
Our founding team came together with a shared vision: to deliver the sophisticated legal expertise and global reach of an established firm, combined with the agility, innovation, and client-first focus of a boutique practice. We saw an opportunity to serve the evolving needs of content creators, technology platforms, and innovative companies operating at the intersection of entertainment and emerging technology.
With offices in San Francisco, New York City, London, and Tel Aviv, we strategically positioned ourselves in the world's leading entertainment, media, and technology hubs. This global footprint enables us to serve clients across time zones while maintaining deep connections to local markets and regulatory environments.
Today, Crestline Global Partners advises studios, streaming platforms, AI companies, gaming developers, venture capital firms, and creative talent on their most complex legal challenges. Our practice combines traditional entertainment and media law expertise with forward-thinking counsel on emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, Web3, and interactive media.
In 2024, we launched CrestlineAI — our proprietary AI legal intelligence platform. We recognized what many firms refuse to acknowledge: for a significant portion of legal work, AI delivers results that are faster, more consistent, and dramatically more affordable than traditional billable hours. Contract reviews that once took days now take minutes. Legal research that required associate teams can be done in seconds. We built CrestlineAI not to replace our attorneys, but to free them to focus on the work that truly requires human creativity, judgment, and strategic thinking.
