Why You Shouldn't Be Afraid of Contracts

So here's the truth...

You don’t have to be scared of contracts. They can be long and wordy, but contracts essentially answer the questions: who, what, when, where, why, and how.

A trusted lawyer can guide you step-by-step in drafting, writing, understanding, and reviewing your contracts to ensure your creative pursuits are protected and valued fairly.

What is a contract?

Beneath the legalese, a contract basically tells a story about major deal points: Who, what, when, where, why, how?

• Who are the parties?

• What does each party have to do?

• When do they have to do it?

• What has to be delivered?

• When does it have to be delivered?

• How much is being paid?

• When is it being paid?

And most importantly...

• What could go wrong? (And how to handle such cases)

The language used in a typical contract (yes, the legalese) helps us cover all the bases. Here’s the good news: A trusted lawyer can help you fully understand a contract before signing.

Why you need solid contracts

A solid contract helps our clients avoid:

• losing money

• losing control

• and even losing ownership (!) of their music

It protects the value of their art and empowers them to grow their career.

From drafting your first band agreement, to reviewing that record deal, we believe that as "Good fences make good neighbors", so do "Good contracts make good deals!"
