There are going to be a few more suits roaming around the Big Apple this fall.

United Talent Agency, which has one of the strongest rosters of television writers and producers, is opening up a New York office in November.

Relocating from Los Angeles to New York are Nancy Gates, United Talent’s co-head of TV Talent, and alternative television agent Alison Wallach. Also joining the effort is Steven Fisher, who is joining United Talent from rival agency ICM.

UTA is expected to add more agents to the new office in the coming months as part of a push to increase not only its film and television presence but to also build up its theater, digital media and corporate consulting practices.
