Recording and Music Contracts

We negotiate recording agreements for Westchester artists covering advance structures, royalty rates, recoupment provisions, master ownership, release commitments, creative control, and contract duration. We also handle music publishing agreements, co-writing splits, producer agreements, and sync licensing deals. Every term in a recording contract has financial and creative consequences that extend years beyond the signing date.

Management and Agency Agreements

We review and negotiate management contracts for Westchester talent covering commission rates, term length, sunset provisions, scope of authority, expense reimbursement, and termination conditions. We also handle talent agency agreements, booking agent contracts, and business manager engagements. These agreements define who controls key decisions in an artist's career and how revenue is shared.

Production and Distribution Agreements

We negotiate production agreements for Westchester producers and production companies covering budgets, deliverables, ownership, revenue participation, distribution rights, and creative approval. Distribution agreements define how content reaches audiences and how revenue flows back to the creator, making the negotiation of these terms critical to the financial success of any project.

Publishing and Content Deals

We negotiate publishing agreements for Westchester writers, authors, and content creators covering advances, royalty structures, rights grants, reversion clauses, derivative rights, and marketing commitments. Whether you are negotiating a traditional publishing deal, a content licensing arrangement, or a digital distribution agreement, the terms of these contracts determine how your work is used and how you are compensated.

Brand Partnerships and Endorsements

We negotiate brand partnership agreements for Westchester entertainment professionals covering compensation, deliverables, usage rights for the talent's name and likeness, exclusivity provisions, content approval, morality clauses, and contract duration. Brand deals are increasingly important revenue streams for entertainment professionals, and the terms of these agreements have significant financial and reputational consequences.
