Manatt, Phelps & Phillips has brought on an entertainment litigator from Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, amid a flurry of other Big Law lateral moves, as innovation continues to drive disruption in the media and entertainment landscape.

The firm said on Thursday it added Nathaniel Bach as a partner in its Los Angeles office. Bach, who previously spent over two decades at Gibson Dunn, has represented clients including television studios and networks, record companies, music publishers and journalists.
