The Hollywood Reporter again named Sheppard Mullin partner Adam Streisand to its list of The Troubleshooters. The list is comprised of the top 25 attorneys the entertainment elite have on speed dial for death, divorce and other disasters.
Noted as one of the top Trusts and Estate Lawyers, The Hollywood Reporter noted that Streisand was able to do what no one else did for the children of famed musician Leonard Cohen: Show that documents that left control of Cohen’s $48 million estate to his former manager were forged. Streisand’s work led to the removal of the former manager as trustee of the estate.
Streisand told The Hollywood Reporter that his best piece of advice is to avoid overestimating and underestimating one’s family members. “Lions of industry often lack insight into their own relationships, the limitations of the skill and acumen of family members, their suppressed grievances or jealousies, and willingness to defy the lion or lioness once he or she no longer is alive or has full control of his or her faculties.”
