Counsel for people who work in VR

Furry Lawyer Service

Two attorneys in the United States, meeting clients in VR. Contracts, business formation and plain-English counsel for creators turning a hobby into work.
About

Who we are

We are two attorneys practising in the United States. We spend our own time in social VR, and we kept running into people quietly operating real businesses out of a headset with nothing written down behind them.

So we set time aside for it. It is the same work we do anywhere else, arranged and talked through in VR, and explained in language that does not assume you have read a contract before.

What we help with

Paperwork and counsel

Commission and client agreements - what is being delivered, when payment is due, what happens if the brief changes, and who owns the result once it is handed over.

Setting up on your own - choosing and forming a business entity, the registrations that follow it, and the record-keeping that keeps it in good standing.

Rights in what you make - licensing avatars, worlds, models, textures and music, and what a commissioner is and is not buying when they pay you.

Terms, policies and the awkward situations - service terms for your own storefront, and what your options are when a deal, a client or a collaboration goes wrong.

How it works

Start with a conversation

Message us through the VR Cooperative contact page with a short description of your situation. We read every one and come back to you on whether it is something we can take on.

If it is, the scope and the fee are agreed in writing before any work begins. Nothing starts on a handshake, and nothing is billed that you have not already seen a number for.

Nothing on this page is legal advice, and getting in touch does not by itself make us your lawyers. That happens only once we have both signed an engagement.

Enquiries come through the VR Cooperative contact page. Tell us roughly what you are working on and what you need sorted out, and we will take it from there.
