Arizona Entertainment Law Firm Creates New Ground

When Matthew Wenzlau started the Wenzlau Law Group, he wasn't sure how the State of Arizona would respond. After all, Phoenix is not renown for its entertainment attorneys. However, a year after its formation, this unique law firm is seeing enormous growth and potential in all contemporary entertainment-related fields.

Formed in early 2004, the Wenzlau Law Group (WLG) has already served independent film productions, record labels, authors, publishers, producers, actors, casting directors, comic book labels, and radio personalities. "What I'm finding," states its founder, "is that there are just as many talented, successful, and focused entertainers and industry professionals in Arizona... as there are in any other major city."

Beyond the realm of legal serivces, the WLG is actively seeking creative means to attract more of the entertainment spotlight to Arizona. One method is the very popular "Film Incentive Program." Film Incentive Programs have demonstrated that small and large-budget productions gravitate towards the strongest financial environment.

In his reaction to legislative involvement, Mr. Wenzlau responded: "There is a growing concensus among industry professional that Arizona should legislate a more robust incentive package for items such as film productions and music venues. States, and even countries, that have executed such legislation have seen an enormous amount of economic gain."

Taking this proactive approach, the WLG hopes to foster, and encourage, the large pool of creative professionals in the Arizona area.
