Alissa Miller
Partner
Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP
Alissa Miller is widely recognized as a leader in her field for handling some of the industry’s highest-visibility deals between independent movie production companies and financial institutions, and for her innovative media and entertainment-focused pro bono practice. Miller is a top-shelf Hollywood dealmaker who handles sophisticated multimillion-dollar financing and other transactions, including projects for A24, Netflix and ABC Television, to name only a few.
In 2020, she has sought to tackle one of the most significant issues of the year—the COVID-19 pandemic—co-leading Akin Gump’s cross-practice efforts to assist a coalition of more than two dozen independent production companies in seeking COVID-19 relief aid. Miller also maintains an active pro bono practice, advising several organizations and nonprofits. This includes playing a key role on the team helping the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to secure trademark clearances for multiple related media pieces, including historical film footage and photography.
