We have one goal. That goal is to deliver practical information in an easily understandable format so that you can better educate yourself to help yourself along in your career and your endeavors.
Most of the information here is general and introductory in nature. You may feel inclined to use some information in this web site such as form agreements without the assistance of an attorney. In some circumstances this may be prudent. The forms are typical agreements of the variety commonly used by artists, writers, musicians and other creative talents. However, the form agreements and the information provided in this web site are general in nature and are not particularized to your situation and the laws of your state. Therefore, the use of these documents without modification may not be prudent in some circumstances. Of course it is also possible to use these forms in situations that are completely inappropriate.
The topics introduced here and the legal issues involved in the transactions involved in even the simple form agreements are complex. Whole books could be (and have been) written on many of these topics and issues. We have not attempted to give an exhaustive treatment here. You must get competent representation to deal with many of the agreements and issues discussed here.
