Law Office of Louis J. Gurwitch Recommendation
David M. Anderson
CEO ACE Theatrical Group
I am the former CEO of ACE Theatrical Group, LLC, a live-entertainment venue development and management company. In 2013, I sought to engage an in-house General Counsel and Business/Legal Affairs executive. After an extensive search, and much consultation with outside corporate counsel, I hired Louis Gurwitch to fill the newly-created position of Vice President, Business and Legal Affairs. Louis came highly recommended, had considerable and diverse experience in the live-entertainment industry, and I believed he would be an excellent fit within our corporate structure and culture.
I worked closely with Louis for almost six years, until we sold our company in 2019. He performed a wide variety of tasks and functions, ranging far beyond just our legal issues (which he handled extremely well) to function as a right hand for me in areas including construction, real estate development, governmental relations and financing. His work on a broad range of contracts and leases across our development projects was invaluable, and his interaction with, and coordination of, the activities of our various outside counsel, was highly professional and very efficient. Louis’ work ethic is extraordinary, and he is highly organized. He approaches every task with a keen eye for detail, researches all relevant factors, and applies his considerable logic and intelligence to arrive at the best possible outcome. He worked in great harmony with staff throughout the company, and was a valuable source of advice and counsel to me throughout our tenure together. In conclusion, it is my great pleasure to provide this unqualified recommendation on his behalf.
Very truly yours,
David M. Anderson
