Maryland Lawyers for the Arts

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Our mission is to provide high-quality legal services to low-income artists and non-profit arts organizations.

Our lawyers take on cases for artists like they would any other client, subject to all of the ethical and other requirements of any attorney-client relationship.

Clients must meet certain income requirements to qualify for representation, and there is a small administrative fee.

We want to help you overcome legal barriers that limit your ability to create, distribute or profit from your creativity.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, FILMMAKERS, WRITERS and PHOTOGRAPHERS in Maryland
