CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS NEED SOMEONE TO HELP PROTECT THEIR PRECIOUS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY with .

Writers, authors, actors, artists, publishing houses, production companies, and entertainment executives have all been clients of mine. I’m trusted by NYTimes Bestselling authors and multinational corporations alike. That’s because I’m not just an attorney, but I’ve personally had a variety of experiences in the industry.

I’ve worked as an actor and performer with experience that includes commercials, film, and New York theater. I’ve co-produced low budget films, off-Broadway shows, and I’m still a member of the acting unions, SAG-AFTRA and AEA. I’ve also worked with award-winning record producers. That experience makes me uniquely qualified to understand the issues that face performers and other industry professionals. I even hosted the weekly podcast Is That Really Legal with Eric Ruben that you can still access by clicking here.
