Fame
There's certainly fame to be found in this field, especially if you represent talent instead of getting lost in the corporate world. Take Marty Singer as an example. With clients like Charlie Sheen and Arnold Schwarzenegger, this magician is known for making scandalous lawsuits disappear into thin air. Another famous entertainment attorney is John Branca, who is known for representing Michael Jackson and his estate. We can only imagine the secrets he was asked to keep.
Entertainment lawyers don't become famous for their humanitarian efforts. They become famous for getting naughty celebs out of trouble.
It's not all notoriety, though. Many entertainment lawyers gain fame (not to mention a major income spike) within the industry for representing a breakout star or winning a significant case. But only the lawyers who take on the cases featured on E! News will make a public name for themselves.
