"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

"The intricacies and details of the legal aspects of theater are skillfully and precisely outlined in this book.  It's not an easy task, and the authors spell everything out so clearly that even this non-lawyer can understand it all!  I was very impressed by how easily things are explained, and I can think of no better guide to help anyone through every step needed in producing for the theater."

Theodore S. Chapin
President, The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization

"Having spent my legal career tackling many of the topics addressed by these volumes, I can’t think of a more comprehensive Entertainment Industry legal reference to keep within reach of my desk – or yours."

Michael Sinder
New York Theater Attorney, former Director of Business affairs for Frankel Green Theatrical Management, and Wm. Morris agent.

"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)

"Rob Williams’ eminently readable chapter on motion picture financing is a testament to both his intellect and the depth and breadth of his experience in this field. Highly recommended."

Lucy Wainwright
Head of Business Affairs at Raindog Films
