He also participated in the Musical Theatre Certificate Program. After getting his J.D. from U.C. Berkeley, Paul worked as a litigation attorney for two top San Francisco law firms before moving to Los Angeles with his partner of 21 years (also a Northwestern graduate!). As a business affairs executive in Hollywood, Paul has negotiated high-profile talent, rights, and licensing deals for NBCUniversal, Miramax, Warner Bros., and starting in July, Amazon Studios.  In addition to his legal and entertainment industry experience, Paul is an accomplished stage performer, with credits including: classical (LA Opera, SF Symphony, Chicago Symphony Orchestra),  jazz (Monterey Jazz Festival, numerous jazz clubs), theatre (Cabrillo Music Theatre, Glendale Centre Theatre, New Musicals, Inc.), and improvisation (studying with Groundlings, UCB, Impro Theatre, and Studio ACT).  As a teacher and consultant, Paul developed and taught Entertainment Law courses for U.C.
