In this unique episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin interviews Amy Lehman, Director of Legal Services at Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA) in New York City. Amy’s journey to law is inspiring and unconventional—she began her career as a professional ballet dancer before transitioning to theater management and eventually pursuing law. Amy’s firsthand experience as an artist motivated her to support creatives facing legal challenges and empower them to protect their rights.
In this episode, Amy explains how VLA provides pro bono legal assistance to artists, from contract negotiations to copyright issues, and even mediation services to level the playing field in the arts industry. With a mission to educate and advocate, VLA helps artists and nonprofit arts organizations navigate the complexities of the business side of the creative world.
