We are excited to welcome Stephanie Abrutyn to our Media and Entertainment, and Litigation groups at Dentons. Abrutyn joins as counsel and will split her time between our New York and Washington, DC, offices.

Abrutyn brings more than 25 years of experience working in-house at leading media companies to Dentons, including 15 years with HBO/WarnerMedia, which culminated in her serving as the company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Counsel, Litigation and Public Policy. Immediately prior to joining the Firm, Abrutyn served as Senior Vice President of Legal and Business Affairs as well as General Counsel at Grid, a digital media start-up that launched in January 2022 and was sold in April 2023.

“Stephanie’s vast in-house experience and stellar reputation as a strategic advisor and litigator on the most pressing issues facing traditional and new media companies will allow her to step in and immediately add value for our clients,” said Sandra Hauser, head of Dentons’ US Litigation practice.

“Stephanie is among the most critical thought leaders of our generation in the media law bar and will enhance our practice across the country, and in particular on the East Coast,” added Natalie Spears, partner and co-head of Dentons’ global Technology, Media and Telecommunications sector and a former member of its US Board.
