Published: November 26, 2014

Attorney Wayne Kazan was named in Variety’s Dealmakers Impact Report. According to Variety, “Just a few years ago, videogame developers sought employment on massive console games, but now those same developers want to become entrepreneurs at the top of startup studios making casual games. Kazan says that the talent-driven studios ‘still need investors and, in some cases, publishers are investors’ for access to content and options to buy studios. His client Cliff Bleszinski just established studio Boss Key Productions. Kazan’s law practice specializes in videogames, brand licensing and Hollywood creative talent.”
