Entertainment law?
So I didn't see myself going into entertainment law when I entered law school, but I've gotten an internship with a small entertainment firm that works with some prominent international film production houses. It seems like I'd get some good substantive legal experience (I am a 1L), but I just am wondering what type of work some of you who have worked in entertainment have done.

Re: Entertainment law?
I assumed the broker/agent made the big $ by setting up the deal, then legal stepped in (at a good rate) with the paperwork. IMO: the goal is to become the go-to firm for all the deals by either the company or broker.... and perhaps the star too. Sweet situation for those already established. It is likely a fluid industry where newcomers could break into the scene, if they are great at networking.

Employment Contracts, licensing, development, and marketing deals. Yep.
