Can you trademark the name of your band? How many digital photographs can you copyright at one time? What is the best entity structure for your film business? What are “red flags” to look for in your next publishing or art commission contract? How do you protect your creative intellectual property?

Colorado Attorneys for the Arts (CAFTA) is offering a virtual legal clinic on a quarterly basis so artists and creative professionals can ask legal questions directly to a volunteer attorney. This free opportunity is open to creatives of all kinds across Colorado.

Creatives can request to have a 20-minute one-on-one consultation with a CAFTA attorney on Tuesday, September 17 between 4:00 – 6:00 pm over Zoom. These consultations will focus on general arts-related legal guidance and education, not direct legal advice or representation. Consultations will focus on legal questions directly related to arts/creative work, such as business law and intellectual property. Please come prepared with this type of question.

Space is limited. We will follow-up with you in advance to confirm your spot. Requests must be received by Tuesday, September 3rd. Your time slot will be confirmed on September 6th.
