This seminar will help artists in all stages of their careers navigate through legal and professional issues by providing greater understanding of the art world. The seminar will offer insights that help bridge the gap between the artist’s studio practice and the legal and business world outside of the studio. With an experienced team of faculty from both the fields of law and art, this seminar covers topics such as estate planning, contract negotiation, approaching collectors, dealers and art venues, trademarks, patent litigation and preserving your own legacy.
Peter Lippett has been practicing estate planning, trust administration and probate law exclusively for 45 years, is the author of two estate planning books, and his extensive lecturing has garnered rave reviews for his ability to explain complex legalisms in an understandable, informative and chatty manner. He is a member of the San Francisco Estate Planning Council, and speaks annually at the Visual Art and the Law conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico that is attended by art advisors nationwide.

Kennedy University and the founding director of the Bay Area Discovery Museum. As a presidential appointee of President Clinton, she headed the Institute of Museum and Library Services in Washington, DC. This agency provides funds for museum and libraries across the United States and is the largest Federal cultural agency. Upon her return to San Francisco, Ms. Frankel directed the Children, Youth and Families Program at the James Irvine Foundation.

His extensive IP litigation experience includes trademark, copyright, patent, counterfeiting, and trade secret matters. He has also handled numerous defamation actions for defendants, and has extensive experience with legal issues related to visual art and professional liability matters, as well as work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection on anti-counterfeiting issues. In addition, he has been involved in a wide range of commercial litigation matters, including contract matters, securities actions, licensing disputes, and consumer class actions. He has worked on over a dozen appeals in federal and state court and has argued cases in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the California Court of Appeals. His intellectual property work includes cases such as Mattel v. Walking Mountain Productions, 353 F.3d 792 (9th Cir. 2003), in which he represented an artist sued by Mattel for trademark and copyright infringement for the use of Barbie dolls in his photographs, sold at galleries and art fairs. The artist obtained summary judgment and ultimately recovered over $2 million in attorney's fees and costs. He is an Adjunct Professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law, where he teaches a class on Art Law.
Charles Hobson is an artist who uses pastel, monotypes and other printmaking variations to construct his images for books and works on paper.
