How do I find an attorney?

The Guild’s Resource Directory—updated daily—contains a list of attorneys who specialize in entertainment law. In addition, Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (www.vlany.org) connects artists to legal professionals and educates them about their legal rights and responsibilities. Many websites - such as www.findlaw.com and www.martindale.com - provide free, searchable databases of legal professionals. Additionally, as a Guild member, you have access to our list of legal aid avenues in our “10 City Legal Aid Guide.”
