arcus Lee, a transac- tional and litigation attorney at Peter Law
Group in Beverly Hills, recently took depositions from members of the Kardashian clan. “When your practice includes entertainment law, there are some surreal moments,” says Lee. “But mostly you’re dealing with the nuts and bolts of contracts or IP and you rarely even see the clients.” At Peter Law Group for about
two years, Lee says the learning curve is much steeper there than at other fi rms because of its small size. “Once I’ve demonstrated I can handle something, I’m handed something else. It’s challenging and

sometimes scary. T e payoff is I’m doing things here that I’d have to wait years to do some place else.” In his fi rst year at the fi rm, Lee
second chaired a wrongful death case. “It was a full blown jury trial. Peter Arnold [the fi rm’s founding partner] did the opening and clos- ing, but I did the direct and crosses of expert witnesses. I was very nervous, but fortunately Peter was there to guide me through it and we did very well. It was really an unparalleled learning experience.” A Los Angeles native, Lee
graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, and then spent several years as an LSAT instructor
before going to law school himself (Southwestern Law School’s acceler- ated J.D. program, SCALEd). “I’d decided to be a lawyer in col- lege,” he says. “Friends said I was eloquent and capable of seeing all sides of an issue rather than bull- headedly arguing one opinion. I like to think I’ve retained those qualities now that I’m in the profession.”
