Ms. Leiken fell in love with the entertainment industry during an internship on the Paramount Pictures lot in college. Her experience as an attorney includes:

· Leading business and legal affairs for a Silicon Valley-based livestreaming startup, including negotiating licensing and vendor agreements and creating standardized agreement templates (such as co-production, non-disclosure and talent agreements for deals with high profile athletes, gamers and music artists).
· Working at a subsidiary of Fox Entertainment handling development agreements, overseeing production legal matters and, in collaboration with the Fox Privacy Department, leading compliance with privacy statutes, including the California Privacy Rights Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (European Union and United Kingdom).
