About Jonathan
Biography
The Sirota Law Firm Difference: there are many entertainment, technology, and business attorneys in NYC, but very few firms have the unique experience of Sirota Law Firm.
Sirota Law Firm approaches deals from the risk management side as well as the practical business side. Many attorneys simply follow templates and textbook learning, but the founder of Sirota Law Firm has created & operated entertainment, technology, media, manufacturing, and production companies throughout his career. Based on his unique experience and the wide range of successful deals, he knows where the critical twists and turns hide in each contract.
To be successful, you need an attorney who has personally operated businesses himself and who knows how to get deals done.
Jonathan's experience will help you to minimize your risks and stay in control of key decision-making moments as well as to protect the rewards gained from all of your hard work.
Sirota Law Firm is looking forward to supporting your next entertainment, technology or business venture!
