About Pete Salsich

Pete Salsich III is an occasionally accomplished illustrator and relatively weak guitar player whose secret identity is that of an intellectual property attorney dedicated to helping content creators and users navigate the legal minefields of copyright, trademark, entertainment and right of privacy and publicity law. Along with fellow Anchor Plate blogger Geoff Gerber, Pete co-founded The BrickHouse Law Group – a collaborative, entrepreneurial law firm offering flexible fee structures based on the value of our work to the client, not on the firm’s costs. At The Anchor Plate, Pete will be exploring innovative ways to practice intellectual property law – combining his more than 13 years of experience in large law firms with his love for the creative process and the entrepreneurs who make things happen.
