In Hollywood itâs all about the 'art of the deal,' and with that said, there is no greater artist in the entertainment industry than Jeff Cohen. You can have a good agent.....you can have a good manager....but without an EXCEPTIONAL attorney who knows the steps to take to craft the perfect deal, youâre gonna have problems. Not only does Jeff know those steps, but he created most of them!
One of the entertainment industry's most beloved success stories, Jeff B. Cohen, Esq. is a prominent transactional attorney and former child actor, best known for playing the role of 'Chunk' in the Richard Donner/Steven Spielberg film The Goonies .
A co-founder of Beverly Hills based Cohen Gardner LLP, he has been named by Variety to its Dealmakers Impact List and profiled by The Hollywood Reporter, The ABA Journal, Chambers Associate, Law Crossing and others.
A distinguished lecturer and active writer, he has authored numerous articles discussing business, technology and entertainment matters for CNBC, The Huffington Post, Backstage , Lawyerist and others. He is proud to serve on corporate boards in both the non-profit and for-profit arenas.
There is a common thread between Jeff's busy law office, his extremely pro-active and creative dealmaking and his commitment to not just assisting and educating the next generation but also serving as priest, rabbi and legal eagle to the timeless dreamers and salty pros who have no age. He generously shares a lot of brainstorming time because he knows great stories, projects and profits come from all corners of the biz. If you want to compete, at any level, whether itâs down in the streets or up in the suites, youâve got to train your brain and steel your nerves for the long distance course. The Dealmakerâs Ten Commandments puts you in the locker room with a pretty damn good coach: [author] Jeff Cohen.
I have worked with a most talented young Jeff as an actor and adult Jeff as an attorney. He has distinguished himself as one of the most respected dealmakers in our industry. The methodology he has developed with The Dealmakerâs Ten Commandments is invaluable for any professional who wants to make an impact in their chosen field.
Not only has Jeff been an amazing attorney, helping guide me through the labyrinth that is the business of Hollywood but now he gave me the gift of The Dealmakerâs Ten Commandments . His amazing business acumen is a lesson for anyone trying to improve their skills in the art of dealmaking.
