In 2006, Morgan Lewis attorneys contributed more than 2,500 hours to 17 separate matters for Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts.

These diverse matters include:

• 501(c)(3) non-profit incorporations for museums and theatre companies;
• negotiations between authors and theatrical or film producers;
• lawsuits and negotiations involving lost artwork;
• filing of patent and trademark applications and copyright registrations; and
• copyright and trademark infringement disputes.

Lawyers at the firm also participate in VLA's clinics, where artists and arts organizations have their specific legal questions answered on a limited advice basis. VLA has also sponsored one of our New York summer associates through the PICS program.
