Nksfb, one of the most prominent business management firms in Hollywood and the largest in the country, is asking an L.A. judge to invalidate noncompetes for dozens of business managers. They claim their parent company, Focus Financial Partners, is trying to evade California law and illegally bar them from pursuing their careers if they leave.
On Wednesday, about 50 Nigro Karlin principals — including THR Power Business Managers Mickey Segal, Michael Karlin, Richard Feldstein, David Bolno, Dian Vaughn, Larry Tyler, Matt Segal, Bernard Gudvi, David Weise, Harley Neuman, Carrie Malcolm and Ryan Conlon — filed a lawsuit challenging the noncompete provision in their management agreement with Focus.

CAA chief metaverse officer Joanna Popper knew Anthony Hopkins’ first non-fungible token drop would be popular but didn’t anticipate it selling out in seven minutes.
Popper joined The Hollywood Reporter senior business editor Ashley Cullins on Wednesday in a keynote Q&a at THR’s annual Power Business Managers event. She discussed topics ranging from the evolution of the internet to capitalizing on opportunities in the metaverse to the Bored Ape Yacht Club.
Popper explained that the metaverse is the “next wave of the internet.” First was the dotcom boom and then came the “social, mobile, cloud disruption where we started to use our phones for everything.” She said this wave will be “more interactive, more immersive, more 3D and more real time.” It’s not gaming, she elaborated, but a “gamified experience” that emphasizes connection.

Depending on whom you ask, career aptitude tests can be perceived as valuable psychological tools or dressed-up BuzzFeed quizzes. In Richard Feldstein’s case, it doesn’t matter which is true, just that the one he took decades ago at the Uc Berkeley career center happened to be right.
“My father passed away when I was 11. So by the time I was entering college, I was pretty much self-sufficient financially,” Feldstein recalls, adding that he knew he’d have to find a well-paying job after graduation for that to continue. He wasn’t sure exactly what that was, though, so he took the test. “They said, ‘Oh, you’d make a pretty good accountant.’ That kind of popped off the screen to them.”
These days, Feldstein is much more than a pretty good accountant. He’s a veteran business manager of nearly 50 years,...
