Entertainment Law for Creators, Business, and the Future of Entertainment

Asa has been our attorney for years, and I genuinely can't imagine building East Goes Global without him in our corner. He's incredibly responsive, moves fast, and consistently exceeds expectations. Whether it's negotiating complex entertainment and digital deals, thinking creatively through unique situations, or simply giving straightforward advice when we need it most, Asa always delivers. He has a rare ability to be calm, practical, and firm all at once, which is exactly what you want when navigating high-stakes conversations. Beyond being an exceptional lawyer, Asa is someone you genuinely trust. He always has our best interests at heart, never overcomplicates things, and tells us what we need to hear, not just what we want to hear. He's become a true extension of our team, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.

The Command Zone started out really small with me and Jimmy just creating YouTube videos purely for fun but we've slowly grown into a 25 person company with hundreds of millions of views that sits at the forefront of the tabletop gaming and the digital media space. We're now dealing with huge brand partners (Hasbro, Scopely, Wizards of the Coast), major IPs (Marvel, Paramount, Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings), and big name talent (Post Malone, Xolo Maridueña, Joe Manganiello) on a regular basis and I really don't know how we would have navigated everything and progressed this far without Asa. His experience and expertise have been invaluable. He's very responsive, he gives great straightforward advice, he's a calming presence when things get stressful, he helps us stay firm during negotiations, he thinks outside the box, and is always fighting hard for our team, and most importantly he gets great outcomes. Bottomline is we make more money, we're more protected, and we have more time to spend on the fun part: making the actual content. Asa is a 10 out of 10. Highly reccomend.

You know you’ve got a good attorney when the producer you’re working for can’t say his name without muttering an oath. Asa will fight for you.

Working with Asa has been an exceptional experience. His responsiveness, creative problem-solving, and deep industry experience helped us navigate complex production legal matters on our recent horror film. He is not only an excellent lawyer, but also a true collaborator, and we look forward to continuing our work together.

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Asa for many years, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He's the kind of attorney who immediately makes you feel like someone has your back. He fights hard for his clients, has an exceptional eye for detail, and somehow always finds the angle everyone else missed. More than once, I've watched him develop creative solutions that didn't just get a deal across the finish line, but genuinely put our shared clients in a stronger position for the long term. He's never afraid to dive into the complexities of a deal or think beyond conventional structures when that's what his clients need. In my world, where independent filmmaking can often feel like the Wild West, having an attorney who's willing to be that creative and resourceful makes all the difference. What I appreciate most about Asa is that he'll always give you the truth. He won't tell you what you want to hear just to keep the peace, and he'll never stop pushing when something matters. As a co-representative, I sleep better knowing he's at the table with me. He's strategic, incredibly prepared, and unwavering in his commitment to the people he represents. Just as importantly, he's a genuinely good person who leads with integrity. If you have Asa in your corner, you can trust that he'll fight for the best possible outcome while always keeping your long-term interests front and center.

Where do I start?! Six foot four - handsome - and more Working with Asa over the past year has been incredible. He's been an invaluable resource for navigating relationships with brands and venues and has played a big role in helping us build long-term partnerships. As our business has grown, Asa has been a trusted sounding board for many of our bigger decisions. He's also helped us streamline our contracts and create templates that have made us much more efficient. Since we're a startup that's constantly evolving, it's been great having someone who's flexible and able to adapt our agreements as the business changes. Even though Asa has plenty of other clients, he always makes us feel like we're his top priority whenever we're on the phone. He does a great job of holding the line when we're negotiating with difficult clients, while also listening when we feel there's room to be more flexible. He has a strong understanding of the live events business, especially when structuring deals involving comedians, venues, and brand partners. At the end of the day, my favorite quality about Asa is his reliability. If he tells you something will be done by the end of the day, it gets done. That's a rare quality, and one we really appreciate.

Asa is the best attorney I've ever worked with and someone I trust completely. He's incredibly strategic, detail-oriented, and always seems to catch the things everyone else misses. No matter how complex the deal, whether it's sponsorships, live events, merchandising, or international partnerships, Asa knows how to protect our interests without slowing the process down. What I appreciate most is that he doesn't just point out problems. He solves them entirely and does so proactively. He's responsive, thoughtful, fights hard for his clients, and is someone you genuinely want in your corner when the stakes are high. Beyond all of that, he's simply the best person to work with. I recommend Asa without hesitation and above anyone else out there.

Asa has been one of the best investments we've made for our business. He’s extremely dependable; whenever we bring him in on a project we know the job will get done on time and efficiently as possible. One of the first things he helped us do was build contract templates that have saved us countless hours and has been quick to adapt them as our needs evolve. Even as we've grown, he's helped us navigate everything from brand partnerships and venue agreements to larger business decisions. And anytime we work with outside counsel for something that falls outside his scope, Asa is still our first point of contact and makes sure we’re in good hands. We’ve worked with other good lawyers in the past who know how to get the job done and it’s just business, but with Asa we feel like we’re on the same team, not just another client. He’s also been great during negotiations. He knows when to push back to protect our interests and when to find common ground so deals can move forward. His experience working with live events, comedians, venues, and brand partnerships has been incredibly valuable. What really sets Asa apart, though, is his responsiveness and dependability. No matter how busy he is, we always feel like our business matters. When he says he'll have something turned around by a certain time, he delivers. That level of consistency has made him someone we trust completely, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any growing business looking for a thoughtful, reliable attorney. Also he's a good hang :)

Asa has been an incredible partner for our team. He really understands this next generation of filmmakers and thinks beyond what we’re trying to accomplish today to help us build for the long term. His understanding of where the industry is headed has been invaluable in making sure we’re protected while also positioned to take advantage of what’s next.
