Interested in a legal career in video games, e-sports, and interactive media?
Join the Cardozo Entertainment Law Society for Level Up: Breaking Into Interactive Entertainment Law, a candid conversation with three attorneys working at the center of the games industry. Our panelists come from three different corners of the field: a law firm practice advising game developers and content creators, an in-house business affairs team at one of the world's largest game publishers, and an advertising and entertainment practice serving brands and talent. They will share how they got their start, what their work really looks like day to day, how deals for game development, licensing, publishing, and influencer partnerships come together, and how emerging issues like AI are reshaping the job.
Expect practical, honest advice on landing your first role: which classes and activities help, how to network without it feeling forced, what internships and clinics to look for, and how to weigh firm life against going in-house. There will be time for audience questions, so bring yours. Whether you are a lifelong gamer or just curious about the industry, this is a chance to hear what it takes to level up from law student to games lawyer.
