One of my returning topics were about the corporate structure around MJ. As I have decided to have regular posts again, I will update these topics first.
All these legal entities belong to The Estate of Michael Jackson, led by John Branca from Ziffren Brittenham LLC and John McClain. Legal representation is done by Howard Weitzman from Kinsella, Weitzman, Iser, Kump and Aldisert LLC. Accounting done by Miller, Kaplan, Arase LLP.
By the way the Estate did a great job with re-structuring MJ's corporate empire, no useless entities left, and everything is centered around one single team of decision makers.
