Legal Clinic for the Arts

Could you use a one-on-one consultation with an attorney to have your arts-related legal questions answered? The Volunteer Lawyers & Professionals for the Arts (VLPA) Legal Clinic for the Arts focuses specifically on the needs of Nashville’s creative community.

This clinic provides pro bono legal services to income-qualified artists, emerging arts nonprofit organizations, and creative businesses in Tennessee, including:

• Drafting and reviewing contracts

• Protecting your work with copyright and trademark

• Resolving arts-related disputes

• Forming nonprofit & business entities

Request a 30-minute, in-person, private session to receive expert legal advice on issues surrounding your creative practice.

To register, click “Request Registration” and complete the secure registration form that opens afterward. You’ll also receive an automatic email with the form link. Your request through Humanitix alone does not complete your registration or guarantee an appointment.

After you submit the form, our staff will contact you to confirm the details of your appointment. Please respond promptly to ensure your appointment is confirmed. If you do not respond, your appointment may be canceled.
