Croft & Johnson LLP is a boutique disputes and entertainment law firm based in New York City. The firm launched in 2023 when two litigators – and longtime friends – left their big law careers to produce their first independent feature film. True to their litigation roots, they dove in headfirst, immersing themselves in the intricacies of entertainment law and the day-to-day challenges of bringing a film to life. Word traveled fast.
Before long, C&J became a go-to legal team for independent filmmakers, taking on everything from contract disputes and rights acquisitions to structuring and negotiating film financing. Through a combination of hard work and legal talent, they built a reputation for securing big wins and providing fast, affordable service. In their first year alone, they represented producers on feature films premiering at leading festivals and secured settlements from some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
Today, C&J stands as both trusted outside counsel for independent production companies and a formidable force in litigation, advocating for creatives and producers alike in high-stakes disputes. Looking forward, the firm is expanding its practice, helping top-tier talent navigate the fast-changing landscapes of film, fashion, and digital media. At its core, C&J is a firm built for the future, dedicated to forging long-term partnerships by protecting its clients' interests and championing their creative visions.
