Annabelle Gauberti hosts Lawfully Creative, a series of conversations that sit at the vibrant and often complex intersection where art and culture meet the legal frameworks that seek to govern them.

You'll hear candid stories and honest reflections that typically remain behind the scenes, offering a genuine look at the challenges and triumphs within creative industries. The dialogue goes beyond abstract ideas to tackle the real-world implications of law on cultural expression. Produced by Crefovi, this podcast also integrates the firm's sharp, daily analysis, providing listeners with timely and relevant context that grounds the broader discussions. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of how legal boundaries and creative freedoms constantly negotiate with one another, shaping the work that reaches the public eye. Each episode promises a nuanced perspective, perfect for anyone curious about the unseen structures supporting the art world.
