David Anderman insists that he has never been bored during his 11 years with his current employers – Lucasfilm, the production company founded in 1971 by Star Wars creator George Lucas.
In 1973, Lucasfilm released its second feature film, American Graffiti. Made on a $750,000 (£460,000) budget, the movie grossed more than $100m (£61m), and Lucasfilm has since grown to become one of the world's leading entertainment companies.
Anderman's role as general counsel means he is the point person for any and all legal issues faced by the company. His team handles transactions with licensees and forges agreements with talent and their agents. Legal details connected with distribution deals are on the menu, as are issues regarding production work that Lucas performs for other studios and the company's game division.
