Justin Wineburgh likes to say he built his entertainment-law practice at Cozen O'Connor "one handshake at a time."

He diligently studied the trade press, tracked the movement of executives, had lunch and drinks with Hollywood power brokers, and over the years, learned the business.

But the tipping point came in 2003 and 2004, when he defended makers of the film The Ring in a Los Angeles lawsuit brought by another film company alleging it alone had the right to make the picture.
