Minnesota Lawyers for the Arts is pleased to connect artists in need of legal assistance to a variety of services.
If you have general questions, disputes or needs related to copyright, taxes, intellectual property, trademarks, setting up a business, licensing, writing or signing a contract, copyright and trademark infringement, artist immigration, music royalties, leasing and buying property, estate planning, or other law-related questions related to your work as an artist, complete the form below and one of our staff will follow up with you with some options.
These services may include:
• A free 30-minute phone consultation with a volunteer attorney
• Mediation services with a neutral party to resolve a personal or professional dispute
• A referral to a pro bono or reduced services legal program
This form will take 2-3 minutes to fill out. If you need assistance please email legal@springboardforthearts.org or call/text Andy at (651) 294-0907.
We will make every effort to get your referral made in 3-5 business days. Depending on the complexity of the request, attorney availability and the nature of the legal issue, it may take 1-2 weeks to get a referral. If your request is time-sensitive, please let us know. We can't guarantee we'll be able to make a referral for deadlines less than 2 weeks away.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, we have very few opportunities for referrals for full representation on a pro bono basis at this time. If you need urgent legal assistance, please contact the Minnesota Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service.
