Merlin Camozzi

About

From Big Law to MTV to leading my own firm, my mission has been consistent: to deliver strategic counsel that drives growth, protects creativity, and empowers teams to move with clarity and confidence. My practice provides fractional General Counsel services and strategic legal guidance to startups, agencies, and high-growth media, sports, and tech companies. Over my career, I’ve led negotiations on complex deals worth hundreds of millions, always with a business-first, collaborative approach. Clients love working with me because I pair legal rigor with commercial instinct, and I get things done. If you’re building, scaling, or creating, I’d love to help.
