Welcome to CultureLaw.com

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 or the entrepreneur.

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

The practice of “culturelaw” also reflects Peter Franck’s ongoing concern for matters of free speech and independent media. From his student activism at U.C. Berkeley and his representation of cutting-edge artists and social movements in the 1960s and 70s, Peter Franck has learned the vital importance of art, media, and freedom of speech for a democractic society. Mr. Franck continues to defend the public’s right to alternative and independent means of communication through media reform and his support of community-based media production.
