Client Success Stories

Fantastic firm with great industry knowledge. If you're working in the entertainment space, you need lawyers who not only understand the law but who also understand the industry. Amar has been exceptional on both fronts.

Tony Arias-HowardCo-Founder

Working with Amar VR Law Firm was really great. Amar was super nice and professional. He was patient and always got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. He helped me understand what choices I had and what risks might come up. With Amar's help, I figured everything out and reached my goals. Now, I feel more sure when I talk about contracts and negotiate because I know the legal stuff has my back. If I ever need help with something similar in the future, I'd definitely go to Amar. He made everything clear and easy to handle. Thanks, Amar VR Law Firm, for making a confusing situation way better!

Abhijeet SinghFounder & CEO

The team at Amar VR Law were introduced to us by a client, due to the speed and ease with which our requirements were fulfilled we ended up retaining them as our counsel for Ontario. They are straightforward to deal with, provide a top notch service and are very approachable. Their sector focus is a big tick for us.

Ritesh Thadani

Working with AMAR-VR Law was a fantastic experience. Idiom Loop is a small indie game studio, and Amar was exceptionally understanding of our needs. He took great care to ensure we achieved the best possible outcomes, worked quickly and communicated with us every step of the way. We always had all the information we needed to proceed with confidence. Amar was also very thoughtful about our studio's future goals and did his outmost to set us up for success.

Dara GoldCo-Founder

We had the opportunity to work with Amar for 2 hours of mentorship thanks to Alberta Game Series. Amar has an amazing drive to provide resources and share his knowledge on the massive world of IP law for video game developers. We could have continued talking for longer to go really in-depth on the many different topics our sessions covered, and we look forward to working with Amar and the rest of the team in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Amarvir Sidhu and was extremely impressed with his knowledge and helpfulness. He took the time to thoroughly explain my options, and provided valuable insight into getting Sleepy Castle Studio started on the right footing. I would highly recommend Amarvir Sidhu to anyone seeking legal assistance in games.
