Power. Precision. Production. Protection.
The Entertainment Law Powerhouse of New Jersey
New Jersey’s entertainment industry is booming — with hundreds of millions of dollars in production spending, new studios on the rise, and a growing wave of creative opportunities across film, television, and digital media.
But with major productions come complex legal challenges — and that’s where Mason Firm steps in.
At Mason Firm, LLC, we’ve been navigating the business and legal landscape of entertainment long before the cameras started rolling across the Garden State. Led by Eldonie S. Mason, Esq., a 20-year entertainment and business law veteran barred in both New Jersey and New York, we bring unmatched insight, precision, and strategy to productions and professionals ready to create with confidence.
We represent the serious players — producers, production companies, talent, and creative entrepreneurs — who understand that success in this industry requires airtight legal protection and forward-thinking strategy.
