Where our clients do business

Unscripted

I’ve worked with Asa across a wide range of projects related to my Media Business, and one thing that stands out is how proactive he is. He’s not the type of lawyer who waits for something to go wrong; he constantly thinks several steps ahead, helping identify risks before they become problems. He’s helped me put strong agreements in place with on-camera talent, editors, contractors, and crew, making sure everyone understands expectations while also protecting my business. Asa is tenacious in contract discussions with agency and brand partners. He makes sure I’m being represented fairly and that the terms make sense long-term, not just today. When people have used my content without permission, Asa has helped me navigate takedowns and protect my intellectual property. What I appreciate most is that Asa understands how digital media and the creator economy actually work. He gives practical advice, explains things clearly, and collaborates with you rather than just sending back legal edits. I always come away feeling like my business is more protected than it was before we started the conversation. I'd recommend Asa to anyone looking for an attorney who's proactive, strategic, and willing to push back to get things right.

Chris BlakelyFounder and Producer, Kickback

Asa is A+. It’s clear from working with him that he values staying organized and takes great care in every piece of business he takes on. I’ve additionally been impressed with his ability to think about our business in new ways, keeping his eyes focused on where the industry is going while still catering to where the industry is currently at. Highly recommend!

Asa helped me negotiate a reality TV appearance contract at a time when I had significant concerns regarding privacy and the use of my name, image, and likeness. Throughout the process, he was incredibly communicative, responsive, and thorough. He negotiated a final agreement that meaningfully addressed my concerns and secured protections I honestly didn't expect to achieve. Since then, Asa has continued to represent me in negotiating social media and brand partnership agreements. Beyond his legal work, he's also connected me with industry professionals and created opportunities that have helped further my career. I've been consistently impressed by Asa's professionalism, strategic approach, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to his clients' success. I highly recommend Asa to anyone looking for knowledgeable, dedicated, and effective entertainment counsel.

John SansoneTalent, Farmer Wants A Wife

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.

Josh Lee KwaiCEO, The Command Zone

Working with Asa throughout American Gladiators was one of the best decisions I made. He was incredibly responsive, honest, and always took the time to explain every step of the process so I felt confident making important decisions. What stood out most was how genuinely invested he was in protecting my priorities and interests - not just legally, but professionally. He fought hard to ensure I was represented fairly, asking the right questions, and anticipated issues before they arose. Asa always gave straightforward advice I could trust. Beyond being an exceptional entertainment lawyer, he's someone you genuinely want in your corner. I couldn't recommend him more highly to anyone navigating the entertainment industry.

Daniella MeansTalent, American Gladiators

When we were looking for an entertainment attorney, we weren’t sure where to begin. After speaking with Asa, though, we quickly knew he was the right fit. On our most recent game show, he handled all of the legal paperwork, contracts, production documents, and everything needed to get us across the finish line. We were on an incredibly tight deadline, and he moved quickly, kept everything organized, and made sure we had what we needed with time to spare. Beyond being a great attorney, we can tell Asa genuinely cares about us as people too. Even outside of work, he takes the time to check in and stay connected. If you’re looking for an entertainment lawyer who is knowledgeable, responsive, and gets sh** done, I can’t recommend Asa highly enough!

Pitt Entertainment Law advises unscripted talent, producers, production companies, and creators across documentary, competition, lifestyle, dating, true crime, branded, sponsored, and digital-first content. Our role extends beyond contracts to the business, rights, and strategic decisions that shape successful productions.

Unscripted content presents unique business and legal challenges that often do not exist in scripted entertainment. Participant rights, life rights, releases, clearances, production risk, and distribution requirements can all impact a project's ability to reach the marketplace and generate long-term value.

Pitt Entertainment Law represents both unscripted talent and productions throughout the production lifecycle. We advise talent on the rights they are granting and the opportunities they are creating, while advising producers and production companies on the agreements, clearances, and legal infrastructure necessary to develop, produce, distribute, and monetize content.
