Ilya G. Zlatkin

Ilya works with companies and individuals operating in media ranging from film and television to music and radio.  He has counseled clients in matters related to acquiring rights, raising capital, and commercializing intellectual property. He is on the board of Soft Cage Films, a nonprofit that empowers filmmakers to produce visually bold works with strong social justice messages. Ilya is also an associate board member of Chicago-based Lawyers for the Creative Arts, in which he actively participates as a volunteer.

In addition to his experience as an attorney in the creative space, Ilya has worked on writing and producing his own projects. He also enjoys fiddling with his camera and dabbling with photography. Ilya’s experiences with his own ventures allow him to relate to the vast majority of his clients – not just with respect to legal issues but also on a more fundamental level.
