Entertainment attorney Eric Weissmann, founder of Beverly Hills firm Weissmann Wolff Bergman Coleman Grodin & Evall, has announced the formation of his own law firm in Encino, California.

His client list of over 50 celebrities includes Gene Wilder, Keith Carradine, Paul Mazursky, Michael Cimino and Jonathan Kaplan. The move comes after his former firm merged with Sacramento-based Weintraub Genshlea Chediak Tobin & Tobin, bringing to an end an entertainment law firm that's operated in Hollywood since the early 80s.
