The Hollywood Reporter has named partners Ted Boutrous, Ilissa Samplin, and Orin Snyder to its list of Hollywood’s 100 Most Powerful Lawyers. The publication said that lawyers on the list “worked on cases or deals in the past year that in some way, big or small, helped shape the town.”

The publication noted that Ted “has built a reputation for going to the mat for media freedoms, including his work representing NPR and The New York Times. It said that clients turn to Ilissa “when Hollywood gets dragged into ugly fights over spinoffs, defamation and trade secrets,” and that in Orin’s world, “the fight is usually over who owns what.”
