The ability to adapt to change on a dime is a critical skill for a lawyer. Corii Berg must do his own adapting when he becomes the new general counsel of Lionsgate Entertainment Corp. on June 11. Lionsgate is a Vancouver, Canada, company with its headquarters in Santa Monica, California.

Berg is a 20-year veteran of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., the company and legal department that endured the infamous email hack of 2015. For the past nine years, he has served as senior EVP and head of worldwide business affairs for Sony Pictures TV production.
