// AIA California, Working for You
Greetings from the AIA California office.
Designing and delivering architecture is complex and demanding—our goal is to make it just a bit easier by providing resources to support “the business of architecture.” One way we do this is by connecting you with trusted legal resources.
AIA California offers LegaLine™, direct telephone access to highly experienced attorneys from W&D Law, LLP. Each has more than 25 years of experience representing architects and design professionals, providing practical insight on issues – from contracts to insurance, from business structures and copyright to risk management.
LegaLine™ is especially helpful for small firms and sole practitioners seeking knowledgeable direction but not yet prepared to formally engage an attorney. Don’t have the time to research attorneys with experience in the field? LegaLine™ provides insights and a starting point, often when you need it most. While the service does not provide legal advice or establish an attorney-client relationship, it delivers real-world perspective to help you make sound decisions and better manage risk.
To connect, call 800.688.9780 and identify yourself as an AIA California member, or visit the trust online to learn more.
Supporting the practice of architecture with access to legal resources is just one more way AIA California is working for you.
Nicki
