New Survey Ranks Pillsbury Among Top Three in US For Video Game Law

A new survey by Interactive Age about the best law firms advising on video games and other interactive entertainment named Pillsbury one of the Top 3 firms in the nation.

According to the survey, more than 530 attorneys at 30 major law firms now practice in the area of video games, new media and interactive entertainment, so it is increasingly important to know which firms have the most experience and widest range of offerings. With over 30 attorneys on Pillsbury’s multidisciplinary team, it is also one of the largest and most diverse in the nation.

“The numbers indicate that big firms are staking a claim and operating significant video game practices. The appeal for these big firms is that this sector lets them leverage all of their expertise across the board for a single client,” said Interactive Age’s Evan Van Zelfden in the press release announcing the survey results.

“We are delighted that Pillsbury ranked among the foremost video game and interactive entertainment law firms in the United States, said Pillsbury partner Jim Gatto. “We have been involved in this space for a long time, but this recognition validates our firm’s decision to formally create and invest in the nation’s first multidisciplinary team focused on Virtual Worlds & Video Games more than three years ago, and our recent decision to expand the team to cover other aspects of Social Media, Entertainment and Technology.”

Pillsbury’s Social Media, Entertainment and Technology team includes the Virtual Worlds & Video Games team and also covers other emerging areas such as: Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency; Location-Based Services and Mobile Applications; Augmented Reality and Mirror Worlds and other aspects of social media and interactive technology.
