Re: Talent Agency Contract
Parent and/or Guardian Approval for one.
Working with minors is a bit tricky, the agreement must also comply with child labor laws (in addition to the standard ones for the rest of us poor shlubs).
Not sure which side of this contract you're on...but both sides should have legal representation. Items to consider can include licensing rights, rebroadcast rights, transfer to different mediums, in addition to a possible change in rights once the minor reaches the age of majority.
If you need someone to look over agreements with an unbiased eye, please feel free to contact me through the contact info provded by LawGuru, or through one of my many webites...
