Legal 500 Review
The Legal 500 is a listing of the top 500 attorneys in the U.S. by practice area. Tom Buscaglia tops their list of attorneys representing game developers. Here are excerpts from the listing derived from independent client interviews.
'Absolutely top-notch' attorney Thomas Buscaglia began his legal career as a commercial litigator, but since representing his first game developer in the early 1990s his practice has gradually migrated to now exclusive representation of early-stage video-game creators and developers. Clients say that Buscaglia’s 'passion for the law' and his 'personable and approachable nature’ make him 'a great attorney.' One client confirms that 'he's just a regular guy, but he gets to know his clients and then defends them like family.'
According to his clients, 'no-one even comes close' to Seattle-based Thomas Buscaglia in representing video-game developers. Clients say that he is 'very responsive by phone, email and IM’, while 'his turnaround on reviews and new drafts has been faster than any lawyer I've ever worked with.' He furthermore 'understands this business from top to bottom.'
