The founding of Art&Music Law

Art&Music Law was founded out of Pete and Richard's long term collaboration in all things art, music, entertainment and media. Pete first met Richard when Richard was a director at EMI Music and quickly became his go-to lawyer for any legal issues or challenges that arose (Richard became Pete's go-to source for hard to obtain concert tickets, rare recordings and new reoleases).

Pete comments "When I decided to set up Art&Music Law, the first question I asked myself ,was who would I love to work with? Richard was in his native Australia at the time, I was in Germany. I set my alarm for very early and called Richard. He immediately agreed to join me and Art&Music Law was born."
