Peter Law Group was founded by veteran entertainment and employment attorney Arnold Peter, with a vision to offer strategic legal counsel at the intersection of media, labor, technology, and global business. Drawing on Peter’s experience as a former Vice President of Legal Affairs at Universal Studios and his international practice in India, the firm quickly established itself as a go-to boutique for clients navigating complex matters in entertainment law, employment litigation, workplace investigations, intellectual property, and emerging technologies. From defending employee rights under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act to representing film studios, media companies, technology ventures, and creative professionals in cross-border transactions and high-stakes disputes, Peter Law Group has earned a reputation for integrity, innovation, and impact.
The firm takes great pride in its dedication and service to clients—treating every client, staff member, and even opposing counsel with the respect owed to colleagues and professionals. Peter Law Group’s attorneys have led landmark cases involving pregnancy discrimination against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, whistleblower retaliation within the Los Angeles Unified School District, and national disability rights claims against Los Angeles County. The firm has secured significant victories against some of the largest public and private employers in the nation, obtaining substantial recoveries for employees while helping shape workplace policies and practices throughout California.
Peter Law Group has also distinguished itself in the entertainment industry through its handling of sophisticated intellectual property, right-of-publicity, and creative rights disputes. Most recently, the firm represented a visual effects artist in litigation arising from Avatar: The Way of Water, one of the highest-grossing films in cinematic history. The case involved claims concerning creative contributions to the film’s groundbreaking visual effects and raised important issues regarding compensation and recognition for artists whose work helps bring major motion pictures to life. The representation underscores the firm’s ability to navigate the increasingly complex legal issues at the intersection of entertainment, technology, digital content creation, and artificial intelligence.
The firm has further made headlines through its representation of clients in high-profile defamation, copyright, trademark, and right-of-publicity matters, including disputes involving members of the Kardashian family and the Ansel Adams estate. With a multilingual team and extensive experience in both litigation and transactional matters, Peter Law Group continues to advise clients ranging from individual creators and executives to major entertainment, media, and technology companies throughout the United States and abroad.
Peter Law Group has been recognized in the Chambers and Partners USA Spotlight Guide as one of California’s leading boutique firms, noted for its high-quality, partner-led service in media and entertainment law. Chambers highlighted the firm’s experience handling cast and writer agreements, film finance transactions, intellectual property matters, and international entertainment deals involving Bollywood and other global markets, as well as its sophisticated litigation capabilities. This recognition underscores Peter Law Group’s reputation for delivering top-tier legal counsel with the agility, responsiveness, and personal attention that clients expect from a premier boutique practice.
Today, Peter Law Group remains committed to helping clients navigate the rapidly changing legal landscape shaped by artificial intelligence, digital media, evolving workplace laws, and global commerce.
