Working with Deviant Legal has been an outstanding experience. From the very beginning, our team was provided with incredibly fast contract reviews, multiple in depth meetings, and clear, proactive communication.

I can’t recommend René enough if you’re looking for a legal- and game industry expert and I hope we’ll continue to work together in this crazy industry for many years to come.

Rene is a unique lawyer. His approach, sharpness, and out-of-the-box thinking allow him to view cases from new perspectives, leading to innovative and surprising solutions.

Deviant Legal is one of the most unique law firms in the creative media and games industry. René is a wonderful person with a big heart for the people in these industries and for the medium itself.

Working with Deviant Legal has been great. They are helpful and will always try to find the best way to help you out. For someone who has never interacted with a Law Firm before this, they made it very easy to understand.

My team and I have had the pleasure of working with René and the incredibly talented people at Deviant Legal on multiple occasions. They helped us navigate some difficult situations with utmost professionalism and patience.

I had my first consultation with René at Deviant Legal and I couldn’t be happier. He was kind and clear, answering all my questions about the legal side of releasing my first indie game. I felt confident and well-informed!

Deviant Legal is a huge asset to the gaming industry. They are client driven and approachable. They have given very valuable advice to our company without wanting anything in return.

I had a great experience working with René from Deviant Legal. He made the entire process incredibly easy and was always quick to respond and on top of everything. I can highly recommend.

Rene is the kind of rare person that I like to work with: he combines a fun personality and approach with high professional standards. Why should being a serious, hardworking professional eliminate being fun and approachable?

I’m so grateful for the support and expertise of the team at Deviant Legal. They helped me set up key contracts for my client work, taking the time to truly understand my business and tailor everything to my needs.

I've worked with Deviant Legal to get a second opinion about publisher contracts, and for researching/discussing a complex legal situation, which they approached with thoroughness and enthusiasm. I can highly recommend them.

Rene is an excellent person to work with for any of your gaming industry legal needs! Worked with him twice and both times, the consultations were very helpful and he represented me outstandingly for the best outcome.

I had a great experience working with the team of Deviant Legal. The work they delivered was of excellent quality, but what impressed me most is how genuinely they support the game dev ecosystem whenever they get the chance.

The team was fantastic to work with, providing thorough, clear answers and open, friendly communication that made it easy to ask anything. I highly recommend them for any game development-related legal matters!

I have come to know René as a highly skilled attorney with an irrepressible drive to help his clients. His down-to-earth outlook, professionalism and self-mockery make for a rock-solid story.

This is a world class legal team. More modern and human in all the best ways. What underpins them and their founder is a legitimate sense of justice and fairness, which drives them to incredible tenacity for their clients.
