Jane Lloyd, President, Our House Media
OHM first worked with Kelsey when she was Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs at Kew Media. She was an invaluable source of advice on a varied roster of talent agreements and broadcast contracts. Her recommendations were always clear and insightful, helping us steer a path through complex negotiations. When Kelsey set up her her own shop we immediately signed up with her and are delighted to be able to continue to access her excellent legal advice. Kelsey is also a delight to deal with and makes the knottiest problems seem straightforward.
Tejal Ajmera, formerly COO/CFO at Kin
I worked with Kelsey for over 2 years at Kin and not only did she help us seamlessly secure deals, she also helped with our business strategy. Kelsey always took the time to teach and explain to the team the intricacies of legal/production. She had the company’s best interest at heart, and was great to work with.
Marc Kamler, Partner, Head of Unscripted Content at A3 Artists Agency
Kelsey is the rare attorney who is willingly (and happily) involved in all areas of her clients business and provides huge value to not only her clients but her agency partners as well. Her experience is strong and her insights into the business makes her a top choice for recommending my clients.
Saul Friedman, Former Head of Unscripted, Super Deluxe, currently Principal, Spectacle Content Media.
Kelsey was an absolute breath of fresh air as our in-house BA at the Studio. In an industry that is always evolving and changing, so too did her approach to deal making. Not all projects allow for boilerplate deal-making and Kelsey had the patience, listening skills and expertise to negotiate deals for a variety of situations - all while balancing what was in the best interest of the project and the Studio. Put bluntly, she found solutions instead of simply pointing out problems, making everyone’s life (and work week) much much easier.
Tommy Baynard and Melissa Dale Berry
Kelsey was highly recommended to us when looking for legal representation for a new sports entertainment project under development. Her expertise was invaluable as we drafted and negotiated the various agreements and documents necessary to move forward. Kelsey is on point and timely with communications and action plans. We also have several other projects in development from docuseries to animation and look forward to keeping momentum with Kelsey.
