The Association of Media & Entertainment Counsel (AMEC) was created to advance the professional development and to recognize the achievements of in-house legal counsel within the media and entertainment industry. Corporate counsel in the media and entertainment industry occupy a central role. Not only must they possess excellent legal acumen, corporate counsel must be politically savvy and be viewed as strategic partners by their peers in the executive suite.

AMEC organizes and sponsors programs designed to equip in-house legal counsel with the skills necessary to excel within their respective organizations. Media and Entertainment Insights, the quarterly publication of AMEC, contains timely articles on cutting edge business and legal issues. The Media and Entertainment Counsel Award Series was created by AMEC to recognize those members who have achieved the highest levels of successes in their areas of expertise and to honor the top media and entertainment counsel as selected by their peers.
