Creator Assistance Directory

This creator assistance directory provides information on various volunteer lawyers for the arts (VLA) groups and legal clinics that are located across the country. These groups and clinics offer a variety of services to qualifying individual creators and small businesses. The services may include educational workshops, pro bono legal services, mediation services, and estate planning. If you are an individual creator or small business in need of legal assistance on a copyright issue and cannot afford to hire an attorney, we encourage you to explore the creator assistance directory below to help you find a VLA or clinic that can answer your questions and assist you with your copyright legal issues. When searching the creator assistance directory, please keep in mind that some organizations also offer services to creators located in neighboring states.
