Press Release Date 08-24-2026
Los Angeles partners Jason Karlov and Amanda Taber have been included in this year’s Top Sports Lawyers list from The Hollywood Reporter.
The publication noted their efforts in supporting the Super Bowl LX halftime show.
“When Bad Bunny danced his way through a sugarcane plantation at Super Bowl LX, mashing up his biggest hits alongside surprise performances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, more than 128 million people tuned in. Behind the scenes, Karlov and Taber worked to make that moment happen, negotiating the licenses and performance agreements. They also handled the agreements for the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show with Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Karlov is already at work on the overall production for opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 L.A. Summer Olympics.”
