WLA Clinics

WLA offers legal clinics for artists and arts professionals to meet with attorneys to discuss their legal issues. Each appointment lasts 30 minutes. The clinics are intended to address matters related to art, entertainment, and intellectual property law, as well as arts-related business issues. Seattle University School of Law clinics will be held via phone. WLA’s monthly clinic will continue to be held virtually, during the third week of the month.  For more information, and to request a 30-minute appointment, please CLICK HERE.

REFERRALS

WLA will continue to offer attorney referrals for artists and arts organizations seeking legal advice beyond a 30-minute appointment at one of our legal clinics. Fee arrangements are left to each client and attorney and might range from free services to reduced fees to full-fee representation depending on the financial resources of the artist or organization and the attorney’s wishes.

Please request a referral here.
