Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
entertainment contracts
Hello! I have an entertainment
contract that states a former talent
manager made ''initial efforts'' in
getting me an agent. This former
manager believes that any work I
have gotten with the new agent
(after I left the manager) I must pay
out a 15% commission. Do you know
what the phrase ''initial efforts''
encompasses?

Re: entertainment contracts
Congratulations on getting an agent. I hope you didn't sign anything without first having it reviewed by an attorney. It's impossible to answer your question or to otherwise advise you without reading the contract.
