Who are we?
About Us
Founding attorney Patrice Perkins was named a Legal Rebel by the American Bar Association for her creative approach to law. With over 15 years of experience, she helps clients protect their work and build lasting value from it. Our clients have consistently protected and retained ownership of their intellectual property across industries, negotiated high five-, six-, and seven-figure deals with aligned partners, exhibited their work at national museums and secured equitable public art commissions, and built businesses that protect creativity while generating wealth.
We protect intellectual property and negotiate deals that preserve storytelling and culture in art and film transactions, publishing and podcasting, brand collaborations, licensing, and other transactions impacting creative work.

“I retained Creative Genius Law to help me understand a contract, and wanted to make sure I was protected. Principal Attorney Patrice Perkins explained terminology in a clear, empowering way, truly leveling the playing field for me ahead of conversations. She also suggested language that protects my intellectual property and other lines of business and talked me through the process. Working with this team has enhanced the safety and security I needed and given me a solid legal foundation in my business. The team also unexpectedly helped boost my confidence in simply asking for more when I desire it. Thank you, Geniuses!”
“I run a small creative agency and have had the pleasure of working with Creative Genius Law for the past 5 years. Patrice and her team are amazing, literal business lifesavers. I can’t count the number of times they’ve gone to bat for me and my employees. I would recommend CGL to anyone looking for excellent representation and legal counsel, especially if they’re in a creative field.”
You deserve legal support that was built for you.
Too many contracts are written to protect companies, not creators.
Too many gatekeepers still decide what’s “worth paying for.”
Too many artists are told to be grateful for the opportunity while their work builds someone else’s empire.
We’re not here for that.
At Creative Genius Law, we don’t just file paperwork and call it a day. We’re here to help you take your power back, on paper and in practice.
We help you protect your work before it gets exploited.
Position your ideas for leverage, not loss.
And profit from what you’ve already created, without giving up ownership or creative control.
This isn’t legal for legal’s sake.
This is how we shift the terms, so you can build wealth not just buzz.
