FTM Arts Law, Fees

Legal fees should not be an impediment to obtaining necessary legal advice and counsel. Above all, we recognize that budget, predictability, and cost management are critical to all arts businesses and organizations, regardless of size or level of success, throughout the arts and entertainment industry.

We will work with you to develop a budget. Our rates are highly competitive and we offer flexible fee arrangements.

Our stock in trade is time, legal knowledge, and expertise. As a result, we charge an hourly fee for most of our services, plus whatever costs and expenses are required. For some projects, we are able to charge a flat, fixed fee to cover all of the time and costs which will be incurred.

In rare instances, we will agree to a commission from our work on a specific project, but these are discouraged. The fruits of your success should be your own!

Our fees are highly competitive.

All of our clients receive:

• written engagement letters specifying the fees, costs and services to be performed
• itemized billing statements
• prompt, individualized attention and services specifically focused on their needs

Consultation Policy
We charge $200 - $350 for an hour consultation, depending upon the attorney. However, should you retain us for future services, your consultation fee will be credited to your account, resulting in the consultation being free.
