Power Lawyers 2012

Angelina Jolie's lawyer must be well-versed in deals for acting roles (Disney's Maleficent), director projects (In the Land of Blood and Honey) and the endorsements in between. The graduate of Santa Monica's Crossroads (classmate Michael Bay is a client) reps an enviable collection of stars including Ryan Gosling, Ashton Kutcher (Offer brokered the pact to bring Kutcher back to Two and a Half Men for about $700,000 an episode) and new Spider-Man Andrew Garfield.
