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.”
