Practices
Paul, Weiss attorneys joined Meta in partnering with Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA) for VLA’s Arts & Entertainment Legal Clinic. VLA is New York's leading legal aid organization for artists, and works within the creative community to provide low-cost access to legal representation and education.
After an orientation from VLA, attorneys from Paul, Weiss and Meta consulted with VLA-assisted artists on a range of issues, including licensing agreements, nonprofit formation and recovering unpaid royalties. The consultations were aimed at helping these artists continue to create and earn income from their work, which includes creating murals, giving live performances and selling artwork.
The Paul, Weiss team included associates Alexia Yang, Dana O'Shea, Kevin Miri, Madhura Bhat, Marshall Rossiter, Matthew Battaglia, Noah Light, Rachel Rosenberg, Richard Kennedy and Scott McGee.
