Have You Been Denied Funding Under the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant?

Have you or your business been denied necessary money under the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program?

If so, you’re not alone.

THE SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS GRANT

The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant is a $16 billion federal program created to provide financial assistance to one of the hardest hit groups of professionals and businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic—people in the performing arts field. This includes live venue operators, theatrical producers, live performing arts organization operators, museum operators, motion picture theater operators and more.

The problem? An abnormally large number of applicants were wrongfully denied funding. The denial rates under the program significantly exceed typical government grant programs. Denying the grant money to performing arts businesses at their most vulnerable time has had catastrophic consequences, causing businesses to close and others to unnecessarily struggle.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

We have assembled a legal team to help you fight for money that you need to keep your business going during the Covid 19 pandemic.

The The Maher Law Firm , best known for its groundbreaking work against big tobacco, is teaming up with Wagstaff & Cartmell, nationally recognized trial attorneys, and the law firm of Jeffrey E. McFadden, who brings decades of experience litigating administrative claims involving the federal government in Washington D.C., to litigate these cases.

There is no better team to help solve this problem.
