CHAD FITZGERALD
Partner
Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump Holley, LLP
Chad Fitzgerald, partner at preeminent entertainment boutique Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump Holley, is featured regularly in the trades for his representation of A-list clients. Last summer, he was part of the KWIKH trial team that negotiated a $200 million settlement for “The Walking Dead” television show creator Frank Darabont and his agency CAA in their long-running, highly publicized profit participation suit against AMC.
In another major profit participation case, Fitzgerald represented the executive producer of the hit television series “Bones” in a lawsuit against 20th Century Fox Television, the Fox network, and affiliated companies. The plaintiff alleged that 20th Century Fox Television cheated him out of his share of profits from the show, and that network executives threatened to cancel the series if he did not accept a lower licensing fee. The arbitration resulted in a $179 million award for the plaintiffs. The case settled pending appeal of the award.
