TALA volunteers throughout the state handle more than 300 matters per year. Attorneys and accountants volunteer their time, assisting in legal and accounting matters that might otherwise remain unresolved and unrepresented.
TALA’s pro bono legal and accounting services are offered to artists from all creative disciplines, including visual artists, musicians, actors, dancers, film makers, and writers. New to TALA is the Patent Pro Bono program that assists inventors to file a non-provisional patent appliation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
TALA’s services include legal and accounting assistance, nonprofit incorporation, dispute resolution services, and educational programs for the arts and business communities. Membership and donor dollars provide for TALA’s small staff, program expenses, office facilities, and the insurance coverage necessary to coordinate and support TALA volunteers.
