Esports Connected: Understanding the Legalities of the Gaming and Esports World
Many times we don’t think about needing a lawyer or legal advice until it’s too late. However, this is the absolute worst time to start engaging a team who can help you with your due diligence and setting up things the right way.
This is more important than ever in the gaming industry, and in this episode of Esports Connected, Megan is joined by Darius Gambin and Leah Leyendecker from Saul Ewing Arnstein and Lehr. They are lawyers and also the hosts of the Lawyers with Game Podcast.
They talk about how they got involved in the world of gaming, and it’s so important to have representation if you’re a veteran or just getting in.
They also talk about their podcast, and how it’s been such an incredible journey for them. What started as a COVID project, has now turned into an incredible networking tool for them and something they have a lot of fun doing.
