The Evolution of Entertainment and IP Law: An Interview with Toby Butterfield in Lawdragon's Lawyer Limelights
Toby Butterfield was featured in Lawdragon's Lawyer Limelights, an online Q&A series, showcasing conversations with top legal practitioners from around the country, including corporate counsel, prominent law firm attorneys, academic leaders, and public interest advocates. The series explores career achievements, industry insights, and personal interests beyond legal practice.
In an illuminating session, Lawdragon showcases details the evolution of Toby's career. When Toby Butterfield moved from the UK to New York City to start his legal career in the early ‘90s, a “crazy thing called the internet was starting to take off,” he remembers jokingly. As changes in technology have skyrocketed since, continuing to redefine the media landscape and the scope of intellectual property, his IP and entertainment practice has done the same. In the last 25 years, Butterfield has built a prominent, cutting-edge practice – one which thrives on its everchanging nature.
