Entertainment Law Advice Forum

[novacuseville]

I will be coming out of school with a JD/MBA from a top 3 (HYS). I spent a couple of years in investment banking before school.

I have a few questions about the entertainment law industry:

What are the top entertainment law firms?
What types of backgrounds do they look for in interns and full-time?
Aside from IP, what other courses would be helpful?
Do firms frown upon people who don't have direct relevant experience in the field?

Thanks so much in advance!

I can't answer much, but I know CAA is essentially the top dog when it comes Entertainment Law.
