When an individual provides his or her creative services, which may include music, modeling, or DJing, there should be an agreement specifying the terms and conditions for providing those services. These agreements, typically called “host” or “talent” agreements, create limited commercial relationships between the creative professional and the hiring party that defines the role, scope, and expectations of all involved. Many creative individuals want to focus on their craft, so they often employ agents and managers to handle these and other business dealings. Agents and managers find employment opportunities for artists and manage finances, administrative tasks, career decisions, and professional relationships. Contracts between managers/agents and talent are critical, as they detail the nature and scope of the relationship between the parties. For creative professionals, having the right contract in place is just as important as having a reliable agent or manager. Saper Law attorneys regularly draft both talent agreements and representation/management agreements. Schedule a consultation with our experienced counsel when conflicts over such agreements arise.
