"I contacted MasurLaw to provide me with legal counsel regarding a very concerning website copyright and plagiarism issue. Steven Masur and Jon Lutzky's expertise and specialized knowledge of the the arena of website copyright and plagiarism proved to be invaluable. Not only were they very practical and efficient in reaching our goal, but throughout the working relationship they were pleasant, honest and easy to communicate with. I also found their fees to be very reasonable. Without hesitation I will turn to them for handling of any future media, website or technology legal matters."

Jonathan Carson, CEO, Nielsen Telecom at The Nielsen Company
“From the time we were a two–person startup, financing our business on credit cards, all the way through our acquisition by a F500 multinational, Steve and his team gave us incredibly personal attention and top notch services. Their level of focus gives them an outstanding expertise that cuts across their organization. But perhaps the biggest asset is Steve himself — he loves the law, and practices extremely well; but more importantly, he’s got a brilliant business mind which allows him to develop highly creative solutions to both legal problems and to business issues.” May 28, 2010- Jonathan Carson, CEO, Nielsen Telecom at The Nielsen Company
David Friedensohn, President & CEO, UPOC Networks, Inc.
I had been aware of MasurLaw for some time, but never made the switch until I took the role of CEO at UPOC. We had a limited budget and needed a firm that could quickly understand our situation, so I decided to give MasurLaw a try. They took over what had been left by a previous large firm and handled the complexities of the third tranche of our later stage investment round with flying colors. Since then, I have come to rely on MasurLaw for our complex licensing deals and to handle our various problems as a general counsel would, outsourcing to litigation or patent counsel when necessary and reporting to me results or problems. With MasurLaw, I am confident that all of our legal problems will be expertly handled, but that I won't have to justify exorbitant legal fees to my board. All in all, it's been a great experience."

There is one good thing and one bad thing about working with Masur & Associates in the mobile space. The good thing is that they were part of this revolution very early on. As a result they are very aware of all the intricacies and most recent evolutions in a space characterized by constant changes in an already complex web of intellectual property rights involving multiple players. The bad thing is that we can never use as an excuse that our lawyers are slow. In fact, the team is very responsive and never late in delivering revisions to complex agreements. It is a great thing to be able to work with Masur & Associates as they deliver what is most essential in business: sound judgment and speed of execution.
Bernadine Santistevan, Producer for Santo, LLC
I engaged Masur and Associates to provide me with legal counsel while producing a feature film. This initiative has required a vast knowledge of expertise in multiple areas, ranging from the development of complex employment and distribution contracts to the authoring of a private placement memorandum for financing purposes.
Dannika Haling, Head of Products for Buongiorno U.S.A.
"Over the past 6 months, Buongiorno USA has relied on the team at Masur & Associates to provide counsel and services, particularly in the areas of wireless music licensing and copyright protection. The firm’s collective, highly specialized knowledge of their subject matter has proven invaluable, and the practical & intelligent attitudes of Mark Anderson, Andy McCormick and Steve Masur have been recipe for a very pleasant and efficient working relationship. They each understand the demands of the fast-paced business environment of the new media & technology industry, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to start-up and seasoned businesses alike."
Gideon Stein, Chairman & CEO of Omnipod, Inc.
“After our primary corporate counsel, a very large national law firm, had a conflict with a potential partner, they recommended Masur & Associates, and we’re sure glad they did. We’ve now worked with Andrew McCormick on a number of complex issues ranging from major licensing deals to contract issues with several of our Fortune 100 partners and customers, and the level of service and attention we’ve received has been nothing short of excellent. In fact, we’ve been continually impressed with Andrew’s combination of legal skills and business acumen. He has a unique ability to focus on deal details while maintaining a clear sense of the goals of the overall engagement. Our experience with Andrew has been so positive that we’re moving more of our corporate legal work to Masur & Associates and we look forward to a long and productive working relationship.”
