Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

Re: contracts between producers of TV show

The kind of contract and its terms will be determined by the parties. What do YOU want? I would advise against a partnership, especially if you are not on good terms with the other parties involved. It is very easy, and all too common, for one partner to either run up debts or drain the bank account without the other partner(s) knowing about it. And that's perfectly legal. Please understand that a partnership is exactly like a marriage in that each of the partners is responsible for the debts of the other(s) and, likewise, owns equally whatever the partnership owns.

I'd be happy to talk with you and draft something that will suit you and your co-producers, probably some form of production agreement. Be aware, though, that each of you should be represented by (or at least consult) separate lawyers when putting together such a transaction.

Re: contracts between producers of TV show

Its if because of this exact situation that all lawyers recommend reducing your agreement to a writing so that there are no misunderstandings about the nature of your parntership, and if problems do arise you can always go to the writing for a resolution. Without a writing the Uniform Partnership Act applies anyway in this case. You need do to a written agreement between all of the parties involved!! I would do a partnership agreement. I could draft such an agreement for you. Call me for a free consultation at 818-998-1584

You are going to need counsel so that communication with all concerned can proceed without tension resulting from hurt feelings or other emotions. Once communication channels are open, an agreement which may be reduced to writing can be reached. Please call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
