Resolution is a talent and literary agency with headquarters in Los Angeles, California. It was formed by Jeff Berg, the former chairman of ICM Partners.[1] Resolution represents artists including Lindsey Lohan, Roman Polanksi, Molly Ringwald, David Duchovny, Gina Gershon, and Haley Joel Osmont. As of 2014 it was one of the ten largest agencies in the United States.

Formation

Berg left ICM after the management buyout in October 2012, and opened Resolution on January 28, 2013. [2] The new agency was capitalized with a $200 million investment from Jahm Najafi, a former Salomon Brothers banker active in private equity. [3]

Closure

In March 2014, Bison Capital, a Chinese investment firm, made an investment in Resolution. During 2014, the agency saw the departure of several key agents. In October 2014 it was reported that Bison Capital had withdrawn its funding, and the agency would close down its operations.[4][5]
