    Adam F. Streisand Partner T: +1.310.228.3727 1901 Avenue of the Stars F: +1.310.228.3919 Suite 1600 [email protected] Los Angeles, CA 90067 "Adam Streisand is widely regarded as one of the nation's top trial attorneys, particularly in high profile litigation involving private wealth disputes, fiduciary litigation, business succession and partnership disputes and litigation involving trusts, estates and conservatorships" (Los Angeles Business Journal, "Top Litigators", August 13, 2018). Mr. Streisand was named U.S. Trusts and Estates Litigator of the Year in 2019 by Chambers HNW. Mr. Streisand is best known for his victories in courtroom battles over celebrity estates and, as Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Streisand was the lawyer who … rescued both local NBA teams." Mr. Streisand’s trial victory for former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer against Donald Sterling resulted in Ballmer’s $2 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Clippers. But, as the Los Angeles Daily Journal explained, what captured the legal world completely by surprise was his "particularly adept legal gambit involving a rarely invoked clause of California’s probate code" that made it all happen. As the Los Angeles Times noted, two years later, “Adam Streisand carried the future of the Lakers into Room 629 at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. The veteran attorney is no stranger to high profile cases…. In a very real way, he [was] being asked to save the Lakers." As ESPN reported, “Jeanie Buss and her lawyer Adam Streisand won a decisive legal victory to prevent a coup attempt.” The accolades for Mr.

  • How Can Britney Spears Break Free from Conservatorship?
    What would it take to #FreeBritney from her conservatorship? A legal expert explains Suzy Byrne ·Editor, Yahoo Entertainment February 15, 2021· Britney Spears in the Framing Britney Spears documentary. (Photo: FX) The cries to #FreeBritney from her conservatorship are louder than ever, but how hard is it to terminate one — and does she want to? In a memorable scene in Framing Britney Spears, the documentary which examines the singer's mistreatment in the media and the conservatorship controlling her life since her 2008 breakdown, attorney Vivian Lee Thoreen, who specializes in conservatorships and has since joined Britney's dad Jamie Spears’s legal team, is asked how many conservatees she has worked with who have successfully terminated a conservatorship. Her answer? Zero. It’s an eye-opening moment in the film considering Britney is, according to her court-appointed lawyer Samuel D. Ingham III, a “high- functioning conservatee," having earned $138 million between 2013 and 2017 for her Las Vegas residency. It made us wonder how exactly she goes about getting out of one, if she wanted to. “It is her legal burden to come to court and petition, or ask, the judge to have it removed,” California- based celebrity divorce lawyer Christopher C. Melcher of top family law firm Walzer Melcher tells Yahoo Entertainment. “She needs to show that the order is no longer necessary.” Basically, the 39-year-old would have to make the case that she’s able to care for herself. She would have to exhibit consistent behavior showing she can successfully meet her day- to-day needs (food, housing and health) as well as be able to provide for herself financially.
