SENIOR ASSOCIATES
818-879-7100
As a founding member of Trifecta Management Group, Bruce Nussbaum's primary responsibilities include business development, real estate, human resources and legal activities.
Bruce's most recently served as Executive Vice President of Corporate Development and General Counsel of GameWorks. Nussbaum was instrumental in the formation of GameWorks as principle outside counsel for Sega Enterprises on the extremely complex transaction, and formally joined the start-up company shortly after its inception in 1996.
As head of GameWorks corporate development, Bruce led the company's efforts in establishing and negotiating significant strategic transactions, such as domestic expansion, international ventures, sponsorship arrangements and strategic partnerships. In his capacity as general counsel, Bruce's responsibilities included handling and/or overseeing all legal and contract matters including real estate, landlord/tenant relationships, bankruptcy, employment, intellectual property, risk management and investor relations. He also supervised the company's human resources functions.
Nussbaum devised and implemented the creative structuring of joint ventures and management arrangements that enabled GameWorks to continue to expand even during capital-constrained periods. These deals proved beneficial both to the company and to its developer partners. In addition, he was chief architect of the company's strategy that resulted in the significantly improved lease economics that in turn enabled the sale of the company in a competitive auction.
Prior to joining GameWorks, Nussbaum practiced law for more than eight years with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison, a leading New York-based firm, having spent time in New York as well as in its Tokyo, Japan office. His practice was concentrated in the areas of corporate and securities law, including mergers and acquisitions, public and private equity and debt offerings, joint ventures and international transactions. He also counseled the owners of a professional sports franchise.
Bruce was born in New York, and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, with a B.S. Economics degree in business management from the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce and a B.A. degree in natural science from the College of Arts and Sciences. He obtained his J.D., graduating cum laude, from The Harvard Law School. Bruce is married with three children, residing in Beverly Hills, California.
