T. H. Buscaglia and Associates
PRACTICE: ‘No one person knows our side of the gaming market as well, or cares as deeply about it as Tom’, say clients of Thomas Buscaglia, founder of T. H. Buscaglia and Associates. This practice has represented games developers since the early 1990s and it wins particular praise for ‘understanding the problems for a young company and being ultra-experienced at taking them through the early challenges that they simply can’t handle otherwise’.
Buscaglia continues to be one of the few attorneys in the country with the mix of capabilities to handle the combination of commercial and IP needs that small developers face. He is admitted to practice in Washington State, Florida and Washington DC, while his immersion in the gaming world has also been crucial to staying on top of this niche market. ‘Outstanding to work with’ and ‘virtually a member of our team since the beginning’, Buscaglia has been able to use this close involvement with the industry to build strong relationships with companies seeking these representations early in their growth.
Many of the matters on which Buscaglia acts are licensing and development contract negotiations, although the progressive nature of the gaming world ensures that he sees a variety of other mandates, such as providing IP audits to ensure clients have a solid base before they take the next step.
Further, Buscaglia has developed a package of services and information designed to guide developers through the processes they need to engage with before they go to publishers.
CLIENTS: Clients include AudioSurf, FishBeat, Hourglass Games, Roxor Games, Tripwire Interactive, and Zeitgeist Games.
INDIVIDUALS: Firm principal and chair of the International Games Developers Association, Thomas Buscaglia is a leader in this field and ‘games mastermind’. Clients say the ‘time he is willing to give and the efficiency with which he acts that set him apart from anyone else’.
