Bryan Thompson
Partner
Barnes & Thornburg LLP
As a partner at Barnes and Thornburg, Bryan Thompson has built a practice focused on corporate and entertainment law, largely focused on television and digital financing, development, and production. He represents networks and distributors, in addition to talent and independent producers. Recently, for instance, he represented Omaha Productions and Peyton Manning in connection with the development, sale, production, and launch of “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli,” an alternate Monday Night Football broadcast airing on ESPN2 and ESPN+.
Thompson is especially proud of his work with minority owned companies, which has included many minority owned startups as they enter the entertainment industry, as well as with more established players, such as TV One. His work with startups is especially rewarding, as Thompson believes that these companies will continue to drive how minorities are viewed and represented across the industry.
