Legal Question in Entertainment Law in New York

Freelance Broker Agreement

I need a contract for being a freelance broker. I booked a speaker to speak at a convention. This speaker is represented by an organization. I am the intermediary. MY deal is 10% of his speaking fee in perpetuity + 10% of any & all products sold at this speaking engagement. What contract do I need?

Re: Freelance Broker Agreement

You need a contract that doesn't go in perpetuity. It's a rather straight forward agreement and shouldn't take much time. Though the agreement is not complicated you have to avoid positioninng yourself as an agent because that would require a license from the NYC Dept. of Consumer Affairs.If you'd like to discuss this further please feel free to contact me with a number where you can be reached. Initial consult is complimentary.
