Approach

Ruberto, Israel & Weiner's Technology Business Group understands the unique legal concerns and challenges that our clients in the games and entertainment industry face. We have extensive experience working with technology products and Internet companies, and provide a diverse scope of services to meet the needs of companies and artists working in this specialized field.

We collaborate with our intellectual property, corporate law, and mergers and acquisitions practices to develop robust legal strategies for raising capital, licensing, manufacturing, distribution, and building and protecting intellectual property. Protecting content is of critical concern to game developers and film producers, so we offer sophisticated and comprehensive services that companies need to fully protect and enforce their intellectual property rights.
