Matthew Dysart

Matthew Dysart builds the legal infrastructure that lets media businesses grow. Whether he is advising a creator on their first major platform deal, structuring a cross-border joint venture for a global entertainment company, or negotiating content licensing terms with an AI platform, his focus is always the same: getting to know the business behind the deal and helping his business operator, financier, and talent clients make smart, informed decisions.

Matthew represents clients across the creator economy, global entertainment, and AI/technology sectors. Matthew has handled $3B+ in entertainment deals and is recognized by both The Hollywood Reporter and Variety for his work at the forefront of entertainment's most consequential shifts, from the rise of personality-backed media businesses to the emergence of artificial intelligence. He is known for translating complex deals into real-world workable legal frameworks, and for his strong network of relationships across platforms, studios, and technology companies.

Matthew's practice is built around three areas where complexity and opportunity intersect. In the creator economy, he serves as outside general counsel to some of the most ambitious digital media companies and creator-led brands, including MeatEater, Mad Realities, Jomboy Media, Teton Ridge, StagePilot, UnderCurrent Media, and Front Office Sports. For global media companies like HYBE, MGA Entertainment, and Kinetic Content, he structures complex joint ventures, cross-border co-productions, and multi-party deals that define the next era of international entertainment. And at the intersection of technology and entertainment, he advises AI companies and studios, including Zencastr and Troveo, on content licensing, data rights, and platform partnership deals that are reshaping how intellectual property is valued and monetized.

Before joining Greenberg Glusker, Matthew served as Head of Podcast Business Affairs at Spotify, Senior Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs at Entertainment One, and Head of Legal and Business Affairs at AwesomenessTV. His experience operating in high-growth environments gives him firsthand fluency in building, scaling, and selling media businesses, shaping how he approaches every deal he supports.
