KELLI SAGER
Davis Wright Tremaine LLP
Kelli Sager has spent more than 38 years representing media and entertainment companies, including broadcasters, film producers and distributors, newspapers and magazines, and web publishers, as well as individual journalists and authors. She joined DWT as a partner in 1994 to develop the firm’s media and entertainment practice in California, which has grown to include more than 30 lawyers statewide (and more than 60 nationally), who handle litigation, production work and transactional matters. She has argued in federal and state appellate courts, including many times in the California Supreme Court and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, achieving results for clients that include precedent-setting rulings protecting their rights to gather and disseminate content to the public.
Sager’s work as a litigator defending her clients in tort lawsuits – defamation, invasion of privacy, misappropriation and related claims – has resulted in important legal precedents with widespread application to the media and entertainment industry.
