Production Counsel Services in Manhattan

Production Services Agreements

We draft and negotiate production services agreements for Manhattan producers and production companies covering scope of work, deliverables, production schedules, budgets, cost overruns, ownership of produced content, and client approval processes. Whether you are producing a television commercial, a magazine photo shoot, or a branded content campaign, the production agreement defines the relationship between the production company and the client.

Talent and Model Releases

We draft talent agreements and model releases for Manhattan productions covering compensation, usage rights for the talent's name, image, and likeness, exclusivity provisions, content approval rights, and the duration and territory of the usage grant. Properly structured releases protect the production company from claims while fairly compensating the talent.

Location Agreements

We negotiate location agreements for Manhattan productions addressing access rights, fees, scheduling, insurance requirements, restoration obligations, noise and disruption limitations, and the production's right to depict the location in the finished content. Location agreements must balance the production's creative needs with the property owner's interests.

Content Usage and Licensing Rights

We negotiate usage rights for produced content on behalf of Manhattan producers and clients, defining where and how photographs, video, and other produced content can be used. Usage categories include print advertising, digital advertising, social media, broadcast, out-of-home, packaging, and editorial, each carrying different value and requiring specific license terms.

Crew and Vendor Agreements

We draft agreements for Manhattan productions with crew members, freelance contractors, equipment rental companies, post-production facilities, and other vendors. These contracts address compensation, work-for-hire provisions, equipment liability, insurance requirements, and deliverable specifications.

Commercial Production in Manhattan

Manhattan commercial productions involve the highest budgets and the most complex contractual structures in the New York market.
