FAQ
What is a Sunset Clause and do I need one?
A sunset clause dictates how long a manager continues to receive commissions on contracts they secured after they are fired. It is vital for protecting the artist's future income.
Can this be used for a Booking Agent?
Yes. I can tailor the contract specifically for booking agents, focusing on live performance commissions rather than overall entertainment income.
Does this establish an employer-employee relationship?
Usually, band managers and crew are classified as independent contractors to save you on taxes and liability. I draft the contract to clearly reflect this status.
Does this protect my intellectual property?
Yes. All of my crew and session musician agreements include strict "Work-for-Hire" language, ensuring they have no claim to your copyrights.
Can the contract be modified later?
Yes, the document will be delivered in Word format so you can easily fill in dates, names, and adjust minor terms for future hires.
