About Speroni Law PLLC and Peter J. Speroni, Esq.

Creative professionals have more information at their fingertips than ever before. A musician, filmmaker, artist, producer, or songwriter can find a video on almost any music/entertainment topic online.  Yes,  those resources can be useful for learning how an industry works.

But, online content is made for an audience, not for the individual person watching it. Even a video that seems to address your exact question cannot know the details of your project, your agreements, or your goals. As more content appears online, including content made with AI, it can become harder to tell which guidance applies to your situation.

At Speroni Law, convenient monthly subscription-based models are available to help guide your creative project from the beginning to the end. 

Our conversations, advice and counsel can focus on the projects you are developing, the business decisions in front of you, and the legal questions that arise as your copyright or creative project develops.  Each month, we can pick up where we left off, giving you a consistent place to talk through what comes next.

Online resources can help you get oriented.

A real conversation helps you address your specific situation.

What Sets Speroni Law Apart?

Before becoming an attorney, founder Peter J. Speroni spent more than 15 years working as a creative in the music and entertainment industry. He understands the industry from the perspective of someone who has helped bring creative projects to life.

Upon moving to  New York City in 2001, Peter worked in several areas of the music business, including music publishing, music management, and production. At a large music publisher in Manhattan, he worked alongside its creative director and gained firsthand experience managing a catalog of songwriters and working with performing rights organizations BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC. The publisher’s roster included artists such as Madonna, Frankie J, Fat Joe, Foxy Brown, and Whitney Houston, among countless others.

Peter went on to establish a music management company. His artists recorded at legendary studios including The Hit Factory and Sony Studios in Hells Kitchen.  He was closely involved in their creative work, from vocal sessions to coordinating with producers and engineers to live performance and television production.

After years in the industry Peter attended New York Law School in Tribeca.  On his first case while working for a nationally recognized law firm, he represented a Buffalo Music Hall of Fame musician against Governor Cuomo and the State Liquor Authority, challenging the Covid-19 lockdown orders.  He obtained a preliminary injunction successfully protecting his client's First Amendment and Due Process Rights.  

From there, Peter has represented notable musicians for all contract matters, including licenses, business development, contract disputes, and settlement negotiations.
