  • Keith Cooper, From the Cathouse to the Court House: A Rock 'n' Roll Journey to Becoming a Lawyer

    Keith Cooper recounts his journey from being a high school social butterfly to a successful entertainment lawyer. He and his partner, Ricky Rackman, ventured into club promotion, organizing events at various venues. Their breakthrough came with the establishment of the world-famous Cat House, a rock and roll dance club that became a hub for the 80s rock scene in Los Angeles. The club attracted renowned bands like Guns N' Roses and Motley Crue, and Keith played a crucial role in managing its operations.

    While enjoying the vibrant club scene, Keith realized the need for a stable career and, inspired by his father's legal profession, decided to pursue law. He attended law school in Pennsylvania, where he distanced himself from the party lifestyle and immersed himself in his studies. After passing the bar exam, Keith focused on entertainment law, leveraging his experience in the music industry. A chance encounter with Ryan Morrison led him to join Morrison Rothman, where he found his passion for representing video game clients. With the firm rebranding as Morrison Cooper, Keith looks forward to continuing his successful legal career in the entertainment and gaming sectors.
