What’s Included in a Model Release Template?
ContractsCounsel’s Model Release template contains the following sections.
Grant of Rights and Usage
These sections of the agreement explain what rights are granted to the company or producer, such as if they have worldwide, perpetual, and non-exclusive permission to use, modify, and publish the content featuring the model.
It’s important to acknowledge that the producer has full ownership of the content, preventing legal disputes or usage restrictions.
Representations and Warranties
The model represents and warrants that no other party is granted an exclusive license, so that the producer has a full license to use the content and model’s likeness.
They also state that they’re not subject to union or guild agreements that would interfere with the producer’s use of the content rights.
The model acknowledges that they’re an independent contractor, not employed by the producer.
‘I Release Producer’ and Release of Unknown Claims
This section states that the model releases the producer for all claims for libel, slander, privacy invasions, and copyright infringement. This release also includes claims related to image or likeness distortion or blurring. Releasing all known and unknown claims protects the producer against any future disputes.
An ‘I Indemnify Producer’ clause is also important as it holds the producer harmless against all liability for any and all claims, including negligence.

Mary G.
Prenuptial Agreements I represent clients in the preparation and review of prenuptial agreements. My experience includes drafting comprehensive prenuptial agreements on behalf of the initiating fiancé, ensuring that the agreement accurately reflects the client's financial interests, assets, liabilities, and objectives while complying with applicable legal requirements. I also represent the non-drafting fiancé by conducting a thorough review of proposed prenuptial agreements, identifying legal and financial issues, explaining the rights and obligations created by the agreement, recommending revisions where appropriate, and negotiating modifications to help protect my client's interests before execution. Probate Administration Represented a client in the complete administration of a California probate estate valued at approximately $1 million. Successfully handled the matter from the initial petition through final distribution, preparing all required court filings, advising the executor throughout the administration, resolving probate requirements, and obtaining court approval to close the estate. Achieved the successful distribution of the estate assets to the executor and sole beneficiary in accordance with California probate law.
"Hi hired Mary to help with my CA prenup. We had a tight turnaround and she was able to step in quickly to help meet our timeline. Mary was very prompt in responding to messages and quickly organized a call to talk through the prenup. She was a pleasure to work with and I recommend her services."

Matthew B.
I am a Massachusetts attorney with an MBA and approximately six years of experience advising closely held businesses, business owners, and individuals on contracts, corporate transactions, commercial real estate, and day-to-day business legal issues. My practice focuses on helping clients draft, review, negotiate, and understand agreements that support their business goals while identifying practical legal and financial risks before problems arise. I assist clients with matters including business purchase and sale agreements, commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, confidentiality agreements, operating agreements, entity formation documents, corporate governance materials, and outside general counsel support. I also bring many years of litigation experience involving contract, business, real estate, construction, and ownership disputes, which I believe helps me review agreements with an eye toward clarity, enforceability, and avoiding future disputes. My goal is to provide practical, responsive, and business-minded legal guidance to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals who need clear answers and well-drafted documents without unnecessary complexity.
