Nina Shaw is a founding partner in Los Angeles' Del, Shaw, Moonves, Tanaka, Lezcano & Finkelstein law firm, considered to be one of the most important law firms in Hollywood. She’s spent the last 20 years negotiating Hollywood deals from clients including stars like Jamie Foxx, James Earl Jones, and Laurence Fishburne. And she’s gained a reputation for providing superior representation for minority talent that may otherwise get less than the best. For those receiving her representation the best is precisely what they get. In recognition of her work she’s received the Women in Film Crystal Award, been named one of the “Women in Entertainment Power 100” by the Hollywood Reporter, featured in Black Enterprise’s “America’s Top Black Lawyers”, Southern California Super Lawyers every year since 2004, and Savoy’s “The 100 Most Influential Blacks in America.” She’s gained her position among the Hollywood elite by being tough but fair. The opposition knows she’s no doormat, and will work hard for her clients, but she’s picky about those she represents, turning down clients who are looking for killer sharks who fight dirty. Her goal, to get her clients what they deserve and ensure they share in all revenue streams. It’s easier said than done, but Shaw began her love affair with the world of entertainment with late nights spent in front of the television as a child, and she’s maintained it through years of changing technology and talent, always ready to wade into the deep end and do battle with the sharks she refuses to turn into.
