Wasserman Drops Founder’s Name, Relaunches as THE·TEAM as Sale Kicks Off

The move seeks distance from DOJ-released emails linking Casey Wasserman to Ghislaine Maxwell.

Overview

  • The agency’s website now redirects to the.team and references to Casey Wasserman have been removed from public materials.
  • Moelis is leading a formal sale process backed by majority owner Providence Equity, with president Mike Watts serving as interim leader.
  • Potential suitors include agencies such as CAA, UTA and WME as well as financial bidders including Bruin Capital and KKR’s Arctos, with structure and timing still uncertain.
  • High-profile clients including Chappell Roan and Abby Wambach previously announced departures following the disclosures in the Epstein files.
  • Wasserman remains chair of LA28 after the board’s support, as political pressure continues and the Los Angeles City Council plans a Friday vote on a critical resolution.
