I will draft a legally binding artist management contract
US Attorney Premium Entertainment, Music Industry Legal Contracts
About this Gig
Hello, I am Michael James Ronickher, a US Attorney (Bar #261335). The relationship between an artist and their manager requires absolute trust, backed by a flawless legal document. A poorly drafted management agreement can ruin an artists career or rob a hardworking manager of their rightful commissions.
I draft ironclad Artist Management Agreements that protect both the talent and the representation.
Key Elements I Draft Include:
- Exclusive & Non-Exclusive Terms
- Commission Structures (Gross vs. Net)
- Sunset Clauses (Post-Term Commissions)
- Managerial Duties & Obligations
- Limited Power of Attorney (for booking/signing)
My contracts ensure that expectations are legally set regarding who pays for expenses, how long the contract lasts, and how commissions are handled if the artist gets signed to a major label. This prevents future litigation and allows you to focus on the music business.
Professional legal drafting gives you an edge in the entertainment industry. Message me in the inbox to discuss your management situation so we can secure your professional relationship today.

FAQ
What is a "Sunset Clause"?
It is a clause that allows a manager to continue receiving a declining percentage of commission on deals they secured, even after the contract ends.
Should the commission be on Gross or Net income?
This is negotiable. Most standard deals are 15-20% of Gross income, but I can draft it either way based on your agreement.
Does this include Power of Attorney?
The Premium package includes a Limited Power of Attorney, allowing the manager to sign certain documents and collect money on the artist's behalf.
How do we define the "Term" of the contract?
We can define it by time (e.g., 2 years) or by album cycles. I will draft it according to your preference.
Can this be used for actors or influencers?
Yes, while tailored for musicians, I can easily adapt this agreement for actors, models, or social media influencers.
