Peter
J. Dekom, Esquire, co-author of a recently released study
on New Media and its impact on the film industry, formerly worked
as a senior partner in the Los Angeles/Beverly Hills law firm
of Bloom, Dekom, Hergott and Cook.
While there, his clients included George Lucas, John Travolta,
Ron Howard, Rob Reiner, Andy Davis, Robert Towne and Larry Gordon.
Listed
in Forbes among the top 100 lawyers
in the United States and in Premiere
as one of the 50 most powerful people in Hollywood, he developed
his nonfiction book during the last four years of the dot-com
debacle.
As a contributing editor for American Premiere Magazine, he
has authored many articles including The Net Effect: Making
Net Profits Mean Something (1992) and Upheavals in Hollywood
(1988).
Peter Dekom is a management consultant and entrepreneur in the
areas of entertainment, Internet, and telecommunications. He
graduated from Yale in 1968 and graduated first in his class
in 1973 from the UCLA School of Law. He is considered by most
to be the legal wizard behind the Los Angeles wall of Oz —
where film deals happen only by magic.
