Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp Names Jennifer Dluzak as Vice President of Growth & Strategy

New Executive Role Reinforces Firm’s Forward-Looking Growth Plan

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp (MSK) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jennifer Dluzak as Vice President of Growth & Strategy. This newly established executive position reflects the firm's continued commitment to cultivating one of the most sophisticated legal practices serving the entertainment industry.

The appointment reflects a deliberate step in the firm's strategic plan: to grow smarter, compete on a broader scale, and deliver greater value to clients and attorneys alike.

"Growth does not happen by chance. It requires alignment, data-driven strategy, and dedicated leadership," said Yakub Hazzard, MSK Chairman. "The creation of this role is a direct reflection of our strategic plan in action. As we continue to build and expand, attracting and retaining the highest-caliber attorneys remain central to everything we do. This investment ensures we have the leadership and infrastructure in place to make that vision a reality for years to come."

With more than 20 years of experience across the legal and financial sectors, Dluzak brings a cross-industry perspective and an in-depth understanding of revenue strategy, market positioning, and operational growth. This expertise strengthens the firm’s ability to implement a fully integrated, forward-looking growth platform. She was most recently with CBIZ (previously Marcum LLP) and previously held several marketing and business development positions in the legal industry.

“I am excited to return to legal at one of the preeminent law firms for the entertainment industry,” Dluzak said. “I look forward to working with the leadership team to build on MSK’s reputation and put our strategic plan into action through intentional growth.”

Based in the LA office, the Vice President of Growth & Strategy will report directly to the firm’s Chief Operating Officer and serve as a strategic advisor to the Board, as well as practice group and department chairs. The role will be responsible for driving firm-wide growth initiatives across revenue development, market expansion, brand positioning, lateral partner integration, and M&A strategy.

The role is designed not only to drive external expansion but also to enhance internal alignment. Key priorities include fostering cross-selling opportunities across practice groups, deepening client relationships, and ensuring that every business development investment delivers measurable results.
