“Because so many of today’s complex transactions involve both M&A and finance, Moshe’s combined acumen will provide an exceptional and much-needed resource for our clients,” said Cisca M. Mok, Managing Partner of the firm’s Century City office. “His decades of experience in film and entertainment financing and M&A transactions are an especially great fit with our office and our global Entertainment & Media Industry Group.”
Over many decades of practice, Kupietzky has built a storied, well-respected reputation as a “go to” lawyer, representing buyers and sellers in major multi-jurisdictional M&A transactions, as well as strategic and financial parties in private investment and joint venture transactions. He has more than 40 years of experience representing clients in the music and film industries. Kupietzky’s recent entertainment industry experience includes the acquisition, disposition and financing of multiple high-value music publishing catalogs, film libraries, television production companies and music rights societies. He has also represented major international companies in strategic joint ventures and investments, as well as credit parties in various financings, particularly in the entertainment industry.
“I’ve worked with Reed Smith lawyers over the years, as we’ve helped our clients in common achieve their goals, and I have always been impressed with the quality of the work and collegiality of the culture,” said Kupietzky. “My clients are very happy with my move, and I look forward to expanding my practice further with Reed Smith’s regional experience and global platform.”
A graduate of Harvard Law School, Kupietzky is frequently recognized for his leadership and more than five decades of professional impact and influence in the corporate arena. Annually, since 2007, Chambers USA has named him a leading Corporate/M&A attorney, and, since 2008, a leading lawyer in Banking & Regulatory. He has also been named among The Best Lawyers in America in Corporate Law each year since 2011.
