Welcome to CultureLaw.com

Peter Franck
Peter Franck specializes in a unique area of legal practice encompassing intellectual property, entertainment, and constitutional law which he terms “culturelaw.” “Culturelaw” emphasizes the process of bringing creative work into the world while protecting the rights of the artist,  the entrepreneur and the public.

Franck focuses on transactions such as contracts, copyrights, permissions, licenses, service and talent agreements, insurance coverage, and other areas appropriate to the legal needs of the client. Services are provided to a wide variety of creative artists, authors, musicians, filmmakers, independent record labels, entertainment managers, and production companies.

 “Culturelaw” also reflects Peter’s ongoing concern for free speech, independent media and open communications channels.  Since his days of student activism at U.C. Berkeley and his representation of cutting-edge artists and social movements from the 1960s and on, Peter has learned the vital importance of art, media, and freedom of speech for a democratic society.  He continues to work for the public’s right to alternative and independent means of communication through media reform and independent community-based media production.

Peter Franck has now joined the firm of Lee and Lawless. Please visit him at the firm’s website www.LeeLawless.com or email him at pfranck (at) leelawless (dot) com.
