Volunteer with MdVLA
At MdVLA, we strive to connect Maryland’s most creative people with talented, dedicated, hardworking attorneys. We work with artists who do everything from writing fiction to painting murals and they need lawyers like you: lawyers who will fight to protect their rights. If you’re looking for a rewarding and exciting way to do pro bono work and gain new legal experiences, volunteer with MdVLA.
Artists need assistance with a range of legal services, including:
- Contract drafting, negotiation, review, and enforcement
- Business entity formation, including LLCs and Non-Profits
- Copyright and Trademark registration
- Commercial Property issues related to studio or performance space
- Employment issues
- Privacy and Defamation
And more!
