An Experienced Attorney Focusing on Art, Copyright, and Entertainment Law
Carol cares deeply about artists and creatives and works closely with them to protect their creative and financial assets. She has counseled artists and creatives for over 20 years. She understands that legal issues can be difficult for creatives, so presents them clearly. Carol is sensitive to her clients' budgets and works within them to keep her fees manageable.
Carol’s unique ability to communicate with creatives was exemplified in her recent presentation to a group of artists at a professional development program sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA). The audience was raptly attentive as she conveyed the basics of copyright, fair use, contracts, and other issues of paramount importance to them.
Carol cares about educating creatives about these issues, which is apparent when you hear her speak and/or counsel clients. As a Professor at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) she teaches courses on Artists’ Rights and gives talks and workshops on issues of interest to the students and faculty. At the end of each semester, students heartily recommend that her course be required for all art students.
Carol understands the dedication of creatives to their artistic practices, as well as the importance of continuous professional development. As a passionate advocate for artists’ rights, Carol continuously presents programs on artists’ rights both in New York City and on the East End of Long Island.
Carol is also active in many professional organizations and advocates for issues of importance to creatives, such as a federal resale royalty bill to compensate creators for secondary sales of their works. Passionately dedicated to creatives, she serves on the board of several art law and artists’ rights organizations.

Professionals Who Know Me
“As an attorney, arts administrator, and professional musician, I can say with certainty that there is no greater friend to artists than Carol Steinberg.
In the years that I have known her, she has consistently amazed me with the breadth of her knowledge of the law and the arts, and I have seen her teach or help literally hundreds of artists.
She does this all with kindness and humility that shatters the stereotypes of both fields. We are beyond lucky to have her in our community.”
