JODIE SHIHADEH: SHE'S GOT DOUG DAVIS' BACK (AND A SHINY NEW TITLE)

Jodie Shihadeh has been promoted to Managing Attorney of Doug Davis' The Davis Firm—one of the country's leading entertainment and sports law firms. In her new role, she will be responsible for overseeing client relations, management, budget and administrative functions, as well as pretending to laugh at Davis' attempts at making jokes.

“I am very proud to be able to announce Jodie’s appointment to a leadership role within the firm," shared Davis—a well-liked entrepreneur and philanthropist, who founded the company and also serves as Executive Producer of Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala. "What makes today’s announcement particularly fulfilling is that Jodie is a true ‘homegrown’ talent, having started as an intern, and then quickly moved through the ranks of law clerk, junior associate and senior associate. It is clear that Jodie has come to understand the intricacies and demands of running a fast-paced, boutique entertainment law firm. Jodie has demonstrated strong leadership and administrative skills, as well as sound judgment and artful execution in the handling of client and financial matters as an associate."

“Jodie’s dedication to the firm and our clients, together with her overflowing passion for the entertainment industry, make her the ideal choice to assume the responsibilities of Managing Attorney and providing strategic leadership and direction for the firm and its roster of celebrated talent,” he continued.

“I am beyond thrilled to be given the responsibility of serving as Managing Attorney," responded Shihadeh. "I would like to thank Doug Davis not only for his guidance, mentorship, and belief in me over the years, but also for his trust in me to lead The Davis Firm’s efforts for our extraordinarily talented clients. It is truly an honor to get to work each day with Doug and the rest of the stellar team at the Davis Firm.”
