The bicoastal entertainment law firm Gray Krauss Sandler Des Rochers is nearing completion of a breakup, with its partners spinning off several new firms in the process.

Jonathan Gray and David Schwartz, who were respectively partner and of counsel, have started Gray Schwartz, currently a two-man firm, and created a consulting business to provide non-legal services. Gray is known for his work in the indie film sphere, while Schwartz focuses on theater, and both also produce shows and projects. As lawyers, they advise producers, writers, investors and other entertainment industry players.
