Meet the Business Owner

Peter I.

Business Owner

Peter has an extensive background in the arts, on both the creative and business sides. He became an attorney specifically to help make accessible to artists the often impenetrable, obtuse and confounding world of legal issues and language.

As an attorney, Peter does both transactional and litigation work. He represents families purchasing homes; entrepreneurs establishing businesses; and litigants dealing with the court system, whether as tenants, defendants, or consumers.

As a musican, Peter has performed at the Academy Awards; numerous prestigious arts venues including the Barbican, Lincoln, and Kennedy Centers; festivals including Newport, City Stages (Birmingham), and Vancouver; live on innumerable radio stations including BBC, CBC, KCRW and Mountain Stage; and clubs such as CBGB, Freight & Salvage, Tractor Tavern, Iron Horse Music Hall, and the Cedar Cultural Center.
