The firm is pleased to announce that Allen Secretov has been named to the Los Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journal’s “40 Under 40” list for 2024. Each year, the prestigious list profiles the best lawyers under the age of 40 practicing in California.
In his profile for the Daily Journal’s special issue, Allen was recognized for his superb work on high-stakes Hollywood disputes, representing musicians and record companies, professional athletes, television production companies, and influential businesses across a spectrum of industries. The issue also noted what initially drew Allen towards a legal career: participating in a moot court project in high school as part of an AP US government and politics class.
“I remember doing particularly well on the project and thinking that I had a knack for it,” Allen told the Daily Journal. “The teacher and my friends gave me praise for my performance. My parents suggested that I consider pursuing a career in law at that point, and the idea took root.”
Also highlighted was Allen’s successful representation of Delirium TV, LLC, the producer of the hit Netflix reality show “Love is Blind” – a case particularly significant to the industry due to recent efforts by reality television participants to circumvent arbitration agreements – as well as his representation of record labels like DEL Records, Lumbre Music, and Tamarindo Rekordsz.
“These labels have played a pivotal role in revolutionizing the genre, blending traditional Mexican sounds with contemporary influences to capture global audiences and achieve remarkable financial success,” said Allen. “My work centers on safeguarding my clients’ interests as they navigate the ever-shifting legal landscape of the music industry. In this role, I have successfully brought and defended numerous cases involving breach of contract, copyright infringement, fraud, and partnership disputes, ensuring my clients remain in a position of power in this dynamic industry.”
Congratulations, Allen, on this outstanding recognition!
