Calfee Congratulates Client A&A Management Group in Acquisition by Lionsgate’s 3 Arts Entertainment

Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP served as legal counsel to A&A Management Group in its recent acquisition by 3 Arts Entertainment, which is majority owned by Lionsgate Studios Corp. (NYSE:LION), one of the world’s leading film and television production and distribution organizations.

Founded by twin brothers André and Aaron Eanes, A&A Management Group has rapidly emerged as a leading firm representing high-profile athletes and entertainers. The agency’s client roster includes NFL players Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs) and Denzel Ward (Cleveland Browns) and NBA player Jonathan Kuminga (Golden State Warriors). The deal marks a strategic move for A&A and 3 Arts, a well-established talent management and production company known for working with top-tier artists across television, film, and comedy.

Calfee’s legal team was led by Corporate and Finance Partner Salvatore J. (Sam) Totino and included Senior Counsel Unekuojo (Uneku) Idachaba and Associate Attorney Jacob J. (Jake) Bourquin.

The transaction received national media attention, including coverage in Variety, highlighting the partnership’s potential to expand influence across both sports and entertainment industries.
