FROM THE LEGAL SERVICES DESK:
WALA is proud to announce that we now offer “Link with a Lawyer,” an opportunity for our members to speak with an attorney for free, for about an hour, over the phone, about their legal issues and questions. If you have a legal issue that is non-adversarial, can be resolved or answered in under an hour, and regards a copyright issue, a review of a brief contract, license agreement, or the like, please contact us at legalservices@thewala.org to discuss your request.
We are very pleased that in addition to the law firm of DLA Piper, the law firm of Patton Boggs now participates in the Link with a Lawyer program. We would like in particular to thank Thomas Zutic and Trinette Bolden of DLA Piper, and Lodie White of Patton Boggs, for their participation in this WALA program offering. We will make every effort to Link you to a Lawyer in about a week.
WALA is also seeking member submissions that describe member experiences with WALA programs, including legal referrals, educational programming, and clinics. Your feedback helps us to improve our services and we welcome both success stories and recommendations. Please email legalservices@thewala.org and describe the service you received, the attorney that you worked with, and your satisfaction level with WALA.
Finally, we are very pleased to announce that WALA members can attend two DC Independent Film Festival legal events on March 13th, for free (if you pre-register on our website). One panel discussion will focus on production company formation, pre-, mid-, and post-production legal issues as well as distribution. The second panel discussion will focus on music in film issues such as sources of music, selection of music, licensing issues, the role of performing rights societies, and strategies for right acquisition. Please stay tuned to our Facebook page and blog for more details.

WALA Legal Services Director
