About The FirmGoff Law Corporation is a Los Angeles–based law firm focused on the financing and execution of independent film and television projects. Our practice is built on a simple premise: Legal counsel must hold up under real-world conditions, not just on paper. Founded by Roger Goff, the firm brings more than three decades of experience representing producers, financiers, lenders, and investors in film and entertainment transactions. While our work spans development, production, and distribution, our primary focus is on financing-related transactions and the protection of invested capital as projects move from contract to execution. Unlike traditional transactional counsel, our involvement does not end at closing. We structure and document financing arrangements, then remain engaged as projects move through production, delivery, and early exploitation—applying experienced legal judgment at the points where risk becomes real and decisions carry lasting financial consequences. We represent producers, lenders, and investors across a wide range of financing structures, including soft money incentives, production loans, equity investments, gap and mezzanine financing, presales, and hybrid arrangements. Our work includes advising on capital structure, collateralization, security interests, and risk allocation, with an emphasis on transactions that must perform under real-world production conditions. Our approach is informed by practical experience, disciplined analysis, and a clear understanding of how financing risk unfolds during production—not just how it is described in documents. Our objective is not merely to close transactions, but to help clients navigate execution with fewer surprises and better options. We welcome inquiries from clients who value experienced judgment, continuity, and legal counsel that remains engaged beyond closing. Vertical Divider
