David Singer’s record of success in high-profile, complex litigation in the dynamic media space and other industries has made him a leader in his field.
Singer represented Paramount Pictures, MTV Networks and co-defendants in Brandon “Bam” Margera’s highly publicized lawsuit arising from his termination from the film Jackass Forever. Singer and team filed an anti-SLAPP motion to strike multiple claims from Margera’s complaint, as well as his request that the court enjoin Jackass Forever’s release. In January 2022, Singer obtained a favorable ruling ensuring that the film’s theatre release would not be enjoined. Shortly thereafter, the matter was settled under confidential terms. In August 2022, Singer and a partner won a motion to dismiss claims filed in a Michigan federal court that Fox improperly based its show Empire on the memoir of a woman who alleged similarities between the works.
