Starting in 1978, Ron Fierstein was a young lawyer on the team of litigators from the prestigious patent law firm of Fish & Neave representing Polaroid in its epic patent battle with Eastman Kodak over instant photography technology. He had the unique experience of working closely with Polaroid's two main witnesses, Dr. Edwin Land and Howard Rogers, during the discovery phase of the litigation and then throughout the dramatic federal court trial in Boston. Fierstein later wrote a book "A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid and the Kodak Patent War" about the case.
Since leaving the practice of law in the early 1980s, he has enjoyed a long and successful career in the entertainment industry. He co-founded the music artist development firm AGF Entertainment, representing artists in the recording industry, such as Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, among others. At RF Entertainment, where he is CEO, Fierstein handles all of the legal and business aspects of his brother Harvey’s career in theater, film and TV, including the list of hit shows Harvey penned: "Torch Song Trilogy," "La Cage Aux Folles," "Hairspray," "Newsies" and more. He is also a Tony Award-winning co-producer of the Broadway musical, "Kinky Boots."
