After a year and a half as a Boies Schiller Flexner partner, Linda Burrow has moved in-house to Netflix.

Burrow became director of content litigation at the Los Gatos, California-based media services company this month, according to her LinkedIn page. It is the first in-house role for Burrow, who has made a name for herself in media, entertainment and IP.

She has long served as outside counsel for entertainment industry companies, including  Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., Netflix, NBCUniversal and Paramount Pictures, according to the Los Angeles Business Journal, who named her as one of the city's “Most Influential Women Attorneys” in April.

The previous year, the publication named her one of its “Most Influential Intellectual Property Attorneys,” noting she has won several motions to dismiss copyright infringement claims against major film studios. Last year, for instance, she defended Warner Bros. from claims that its films, “Jupiter Ascending” and “The Dark Knight Rises” violated copyright laws.

Her new employer, Netflix, which did not respond to request for comment about her hire, has faced copyright issues over its content in the past. These have ranged from allegations that its film, “Burning Sands,” infringes on copyright for a book of the same name and that the popular Netflix show “Stranger Things” illegally used a photograph under copyright.

Burrow was a shareholder at Caldwell Leslie & Proctor when Boies Schiller acquired the boutique firm in 2017. She had spent more than 11 years with Caldwell Leslie. Prior to that, she spent eight years at Munger, Tolles & Olson. She holds a JD from Berkeley Law.
