Stanton “Larry” Stein

Partner & Co-Chair, Entertainment & Media Group
Russ August & Kabat

Stanton “Larry” Stein is the partner and co-chair of the Entertainment & Media Group at Russ August & Kabat, where he handles high-stakes litigation for premier global music artists, directors and talent executives. He anchors his practice in protecting creative copyrights, profit participations and complex intellectual property portfolios against major media conglomerates. This expertise extends to sensitive celebrity defense mandates, recently securing a dismissal with prejudice for Drake’s corporate entity in a high-profile copyright lawsuit concerning the Dear Mama docuseries. Leveraging this record of success, Stein overturned a multi-million-dollar Florida jury verdict for negligent security while managing federal trademark and impersonation actions for prominent television personalities. He channels his civic leadership into systemic public interest law by helping to establish and serve as president of Public Counsel.
