How Can We Help You?

  • Artists
    • Are you an artist in need of legal advice? We may be able to refer you to one of our volunteer pro-bono attorneys. Our volunteer attorneys can give you brief advice over the phone, via fax, or, if you qualify, have an attorney take on your entire case.
  • Arts Organizations
    • In addition to providing referrals to volunteer pro bono attorneys who can help with your organization’s legal issues, you can also schedule us to give lectures on a variety of legal topics critical to New Jersey artists.
    • Topics include:
      • Copyright Law
      • An Overview of Intellectual Property
      • Landlord Tenant Law
      • Legal Issues for Filmmakers
      • …and we are continually adding more

  • Needs Survey
      • Tell us your needs. NJVLA depends upon the arts community to keep us informed of its legal needs. If there is an area in which you think we should direct our efforts, please fill out a needs survey and send it back to us.

NJVLA has collated the data provided by New Jersey artists and arts and cultural organizations during the Needs Assessment Survey.

PLEASE NOTE: NJVLA IS A LEGAL REFERRAL SERVICE. IT DOES NOT PRACTICE LAW, PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE, OR REPRESENTATION. IF YOU QUALIFY UNDER OUR FINANCIAL GUIDELINES, WE MAY REFER YOU TO AN INDEPENDENT VOLUNTEER ATTORNEY TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR MATTER. NJVLA DOES NOT AND IT CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR ATTORNEY'S LEVEL OF EXPERTISE OR EXPERIENCE, OR EVEN THAT IT CAN SECURE YOU AN ATTORNEY.
