Some lawyers, if they’re lucky, might get their cases covered by the legal press, but intellectual property litigator Dale Cendali has a resume that People or Entertainment Weekly would find interesting. The Kirkland & Ellis partner is currently defending the producers of the musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark against a copyright infringement suit filed by former director Julie Taymor. She’s also represented author J.K. Rowling against the publisher of an unauthorized Harry Potter lexicon, and the Associated Press against artist Shepard Fairey, who was accused of using an AP photo for his Obama “Hope” poster. We recently spoke with Cendali about the secrets of her success. An edited version of our conversation follows.
Q How did you end up with such an enviable caseload?
