our mission
The Creative Law Shop is on a mission to protect and defend your creative pursuits through affordable and legally sound resources. Equipped with our contract templates and educational materials, you can confidently do the work you love, without the fear of what could go wrong.
What makes us unique?
Our templates were never created for the purpose of online sales. No, really. Each template had been converted from a contract that either one of the CLS attorneys wrote for themselves, or for a client. It was only after repeated requests from clients that the team began offering those same products as templates, in hopes that a wider array of creative business owners could find sound contracts. We take great pride in being the first to say that each of our templates were not only drafted by a contract attorney, but have been refined by professionals in each respective industry, who ensure that those scenarios that only time in the profession have been protected (after all, who knew that some clients request your raw photography files, or that some calligraphy clients expect all calligraphy to look the same?).
