Attorneys

Brian Alexander is a founding attorney of Bliss Legal Studio, PC, bringing over 30 years of experience in the entertainment industry. He is an entertainment attorney and senior business affairs executive whose career spans representation, management, and in-house leadership at some of the industry's most recognizable companies.

Most recently, Brian served as Senior Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs at Universal Music Group's Polygram Entertainment, where he led film and television dealmaking for the division during his tenure there. He closed two of the largest documentary sales in the market: Selena y Los Dinos to Netflix and Man on the Run (Paul McCartney) to Amazon, structured a first-look deal with Lionsgate, and built premium distribution partnerships with Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and Apple. He played a central role in establishing Polygram Entertainment as a credible premium documentary and music-driven content player.

Prior to UMG, Brian held senior roles at Viacom, Discovery Communications (two separate stints), and Magical Elves, the production company behind Top Chef and Project Runway. Earlier in his career he worked at ICM Partners, Writers & Artists Agency and co-founded Essential Talent Management, developing a deep understanding of the representation landscape that informs his transactional practice to this day. He is particularly proud to have helped his sister sell the film rights to her book, “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” and being an integral part in making that film a box office success, grossing over $177 million worldwide, and influencing a wave of romantic comedies that followed.

Brian advises clients on the full spectrum of film and television transactions — from development and production through distribution and platform licensing — with particular expertise in documentary and music-driven content.
