Los Angeles, CA , August 7, 2017 (Newswire.com) - On Sunday, Aug. 6 at 4 p.m. at the Education Stage of the Los Angeles Convention Center, Scare LA 2017 held the informative "The 7 Legal Pitfalls You Must Avoid Before Getting Into The Horror Entertainment Biz" with ScareLA's own renowned entertainment attorney Nadia Davari and her client, noted actress Vida Ghaffari (The Mindy Project, Holy Terror).

These ladies took the stage to guide attendees safely past the horror entertainment industry's largest — and unexpected — pitfalls. Davari showed the attendees how to not get taken advantage of. To add a little practical spice, this seminar was moderated by Ghaffari, who herself has dealt first-hand with many of these pitfalls in her career, but overcame them all with Davari's expertise. Many of the ladies educational and often humorous experiences and anecdotes were highlighted in this informative seminar.

"It has truly been an honor to represent ScareLA and Lora, a young serial entrepreneur, and watch it evolve into such an informative and epic event," said Davari.

"I was so thrilled to be part of this panel with my wise attorney and a part of this wonderful convention that was started by a woman. It's really great to be a part of the horror community with such knowledgeable and empowered women," added Ghaffari.

"I created ScareLA with the vision of bringing the community together and celebrating our city's diversity in its most unusual forms. Halloween has an amazing tradition of self-expression and creativity and we bring thousands of artists, haunt entertainment professionals, horror filmmakers and fans to celebrate it early. ScareLA was first to bring Halloween to the summer and we are thrilled with the amazing response to our show and creating Halloween's first Comic-con," said Ivanova.

"As an entrepreneur, it has been extremely important for me to have an A-class legal team to ensure our success and I could not be happier working with experts like Nadia Davari in this process. Her ability to look at the big picture and navigate the intricate landscape of show business has been key to our growth and I really enjoyed having her share her experience with our community at large at ScareLA this year," added Ivanova.
