Since tapping Miles Cooley to join as a partner in February 2022, Freedman + Taitelman, LLP is now rebranding to Freedman Taitelman + Cooley.
Cooley has previously worked with high-profile music and sports clientele including Rihanna, Jay-Z, Curtis Jackson, III (aka 50 Cent), the LA Chargers and the LA Clippers. Ahead of his move to F+T, Cooley served as the chief legal officer and COO of the CMNTY culture publishing, film and real estate portfolio companies. He additionally worked with DLA Piper LLP.
“This year marks the 26th anniversary of the firm and the perfect time to form a new team adding Miles as a name partner,” said F+T founders Bryan Freedman and Michael Taitelman. “Not only does he possess the highest level of legal muscle, rigor and integrity, he brings a necessary well of empathy and compassion to our culture. With his leadership, we look forward to continuing the firm’s successful track record and broadening our portfolio to include pro bono and contingency cases.”
Cooley, too serves on the Lawyers’ committee for Civil Rights National Board of Directors, the advisory board of John Burton Advocates for Youth and as pro bono counsel to Peace4Kids.
“I’m humbled and honored to add my name to the outstanding firm Mike and Bryan have built,” said Cooley. “It’s excellent lawyers and staff, enviable roster of clients and long track record of delivering winning results make this firm one of the most coveted places to practice. It is the opportunity of a career to partner with Mike and Bryan.”
