Artists’ Legal Advice Services

Artists’ Legal Advice Services (ALAS) will expand its virtual legal clinic, which connects artists and creators in Ontario to free summary advice from entertainment and intellectual property lawyers. ALAS will develop digital infrastructure to support the clinic expansion, recruit and train additional volunteer lawyers, engage in outreach to arts organizations that work with underserved communities, and conduct an evaluation. Partners include Artists’ Legal Services Ottawa. This initiative will benefit artists and creators who experience unique legal issues while navigating Ontario’s arts sector.
