Michael Kahn is a widely recognized trial lawyer in areas ranging from commercial litigation and media and entertainment to the First Amendment
His high-profile matters include a copyright infringement suit in which he represented Christian musicians who alleged Katy Perry’s hit song “Dark Horse” made unauthorized use of a beat they’d written. A California jury agreed and assessed $2.78 million in damages, though an appeals court last year affirmed a judge’s decision to throw out the verdict.
Clients for whom Kahn has been counsel of record in various disputes include the NBA, Oprah Winfrey, Lions Gate Entertainment, Mark McGwire, The New York Yankees, Paramount Pictures and others.
