DC Area Lawyer Dunlap Named as One of Hollywood's Most Powerful Thomas Dunlap, a Washington, DC attorney with the firm of Dunlao, Grubb & Weaver was named as one of the "100 Most Powerful Lawyers in Entertainment" by the Hollywood Reporter in the annual Power 100 Edition of the magazine. The inclusion comes On the heels of a massive anti piracy campaign for a number of studios, including Voltage Films (Hurt Locker). Washington, DC (PRWEB) August 25, 2010 According to the Hollywood Reporter "Dunlap is based in Washington, but he certainly got Hollywood's attention in May when he filed a massive lawsuit against tens of thousands of anonymous individuals who pirated "The Hurt Locker" and other independent movies online. The RIAA tried suing individual copyright infringers before pulling back on the tactic, so what makes Dunlap believe his effort will be more successful? Part of the explanation can be found in his background: He's aggressive (a former Virginia county prosecutor), trained in combat (he was a captain of the Army National Guard), technologically literate (he's had his hand in biotech companies) and business savvy (he's worked for some Fortune 500 commercial banks and is pursuing an MBA). "I definitely have a high tolerance for risk," he says. Dunlap (http://www.dglegal.com/thomas-m-dunlap) is a partner at Dunlap Grubb & Weaver, an AV rated Washington DC area law firm focusing on intellectual property and commercial representation nationwide. Dunlap is known for aggressive representation of copyright holders, artists, musicians, and authors in state and Federal Courts throughout the United States. ###
