What Entertainment Contract Services Does Brodsky Law Offer?
Entertainment contracts govern the complex relationships between talent, producers, studios, labels, and other industry participants. These agreements — from talent contracts and production deals to music publishing agreements and film option contracts — define the rights, obligations, compensation, and creative controls that shape every entertainment project. The entertainment industry operates under its own set of customs and legal frameworks, and contracts in this space require an attorney who understands both the business realities and the legal nuances specific to the field. Sasha Brodsky has represented entertainment industry clients in Santa Cruz and throughout California since 1998.
California law provides significant protections for entertainment industry participants. The California Talent Agencies Act (Labor Code Section 1700 et seq.) regulates who may procure employment for artists, imposing licensing requirements and fee limitations on talent agencies. SAG-AFTRA agreements establish minimum compensation, working conditions, and residual payment obligations for performers in film, television, and new media. Music contracts — including recording agreements, publishing deals, and sync licensing arrangements — involve complex royalty structures and rights allocations that must be carefully negotiated. Option agreements and development deals require precise drafting of exercise periods, compensation triggers, and reversion rights. Sasha works to protect his clients' creative and financial interests across the full spectrum of entertainment transactions.
Sasha's scope of counsel includes but is not limited to:
Whether you need to negotiate a talent agreement, draft a production contract, review a music publishing deal, or structure an option agreement for film or television rights, Sasha provides experienced counsel through every stage of the entertainment contracting process — from initial deal structuring and negotiation through execution and ongoing compliance. He works to ensure that his clients' creative rights are protected and that their compensation terms are fair and enforceable.
