Washington Lawyers for the Arts (WLA) is offering WLA Legal Advice Week (“WLA LAW”), a special week-long pro bono telephone clinic where artists and arts professionals statewide can get 30 minutes of FREE advice related to their legal issues from October 24 - 30.
Sign up for a 30-minute phone appointment with an experienced attorney at thewla.org/wla-law-artist-request-form. Intakes for the June virtual clinic will be accepted until the evening of Thursday, October 21.
The clinic is open to artists and arts organizations throughout Washington State. Legal issues must relate to an artistic discipline but can cover a wide range of areas such as copyright, trademark, publicity rights, licensing, fair use, business formation, and contract review. Issues involving patent law, employment law, family law, criminal law and tax law are not appropriate for WLA LAW. Availability may be limited based on the type of legal issue and expertise of the participating attorneys.
WLA will get back to you shortly to gather more information and connect you with an attorney with whom you will arrange a 30-minute phone appointment on a mutually agreed day and time between October 24 - 30.
