When Bravo gets sued over the “Real Housewives,” it turns to MSK. In recent years, Levin has prevailed against a butler who claimed he was sexually assaulted when cast members slapped his butt and tore off his shirt. Next, he defeated a cast member who relapsed after being supplied with free booze. In both cases, Levin leaned on the First Amendment — an increasingly powerful tool in employment cases. “We continue to zealously protect our clients’ free speech rights,” Levin says. Levin is also defending several studios from union claims over residuals. The firm represents video game companies as they seek to clamp down on piracy, game hacks, cheat codes and circumvention tools.
