Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

Re: modeling manager contract

unny timing regarding your question. My wife and I are currently negotiating with a modeling agency for our 8-month-old. The extent of the power of attorney depends entirely on the wording of the document. If it is a general POA, they would have almost unlimited authority, which I wouldn't recommend. It is probably a limited POA and the limitations should be set out in the document itself.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.

Re: modeling manager contract

I expect this is a big step for you, and it may lead to other opportunities (and more contracts). You should consider an experienced entertainment lawyer who is used to dealing with such contracts. Just a guess, but I'd say they may be willing to give it a quick review at a reasonable fee given the age. You can certainly get a basic opinion of the terms of the contract and power of attorney from many lawyers, but it may be wise to invest a little money for someone in the industry, then you'll have more information for the next contract.

Re: modeling manager contract

Your son is too young to have the capacity to contract; hence, you are probably giving the agency power of attorney to execute documents on your behalf. Your really should not extend that power to anyone without having an attorney reivew all of the documents involved.
