"I am a mediator and arbitrator in the entertainment industry (following a long career as an entertainment attorney and studio/network business affairs executive). Having a thorough understanding of both basic law and dealmaking custom and practice in this industry is essential to my work. The Essential Guide to Entertainment Law delivers on both - and I suspect that if more lawyers, executives, entrepreneurs and artists in the entertainment industry familiarized themselves with EG2EL before entering into their contracts, it might lighten my case load."

Fred Kuperberg

Managing Partner, Schuyler Road Advisors, and former EVP and General Counsel, Disney/ABC Cable Networks Group

"Jay Shanker and Kirk Schroder have produced a truly comprehensive book on the business and legal aspects of the major fields in the entertainment industry. Although meant for entertainment lawyers and executives, this book is also a manual for all creative talent who want to understand this business."

Margot Shetterly

Author of Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race

"Anyone with an interest in this specialized field of law would be wise to have this worthy book on their shelf. It covers pretty much everything dealmakers in our industry are frequently concerned about with insightful commentary, identifying the applicable laws and providing a host of helpful advice based on experience. Well done!”

David Baldacci

Best-selling Author of more than 24 novels, including Absolute Power (made into the Clint Eastwood film)

"In my 50 years of navigating this industry - shepherding projects from book to stage to screen and back again - I’ve rarely encountered such a comprehensive yet accessible reference on Entertainment law and business. Highly recommended!"

Max Weitzenhoffer
