What is a Personal Management Agreement?

A personal management agreement is a legal document that lays out the terms of an artist's or entertainer's professional relationship with their manager. This can include details such as the nature of their work, how they will be compensated, how decisions about their career will be made, and any other aspects of their working relationship. Having a personal management agreement in place helps to ensure that both parties are clear about their responsibilities and expectations, making it easier for them to collaborate effectively and successfully pursue shared goals.

A personal management agreement is an essential part of establishing a positive and productive professional relationship.

5.       COMPENSATION

A.   Percentage Arrangement

Since the nature and extent of the success or failure of your  career  cannot be
predetermined, it is our mutual desire that the compensation to be paid to us be
determined  in such a manner  that we accept  the risk of failure  and  likewise
benefit to the extent of your  success.  Accordingly,  you agree to pay us a sum
equivalent  to twenty (20%)  percent of any and all gross  compensation  earned,
received  or  acquired  by you,  directly  or  indirectly,  as a result  of your
activities in the entertainment industry.


         B.       Nature of Gross Compensation

     The term "gross compensation" shall include, without limitation;  salaries,
earnings, fees, royalties, residuals, repeat and/or re-run fees, bonuses, shares
of profit, shares of stock, gifts,  partnership  interests,  percentages and the
total amount paid for a package  television or radio program (live or recorded),
motion picture or other entertainment  package,  any and all sums resulting from
your  activities  (and from the  activities  of any  "controlled  entities",  as
defined in section 5 (F), below) in the entertainment industries and uses of the
results and proceeds  thereof,  payments  for  termination  of your  activities,
payments to refrain from any such activities and payments in connection with the
settlement or other disposition of any dispute concerning said activities, which
are earned or received, directly or indirectly, by you or your heirs, executors,
administrators or assigns,  or by any other person,  firm or corporation on your
behalf without deduction of any nature or sort.

     As to the proceeds of any motion picture,  phonograph  record,  film, tape,
wire,  transcriptions,  recording  or  other  reproduction  or  result  of  your
activities  in the  entertainment  industries  which is  created  in  whole  and
released  during the term hereof,  our commission  shall continue for so long as
any of the same are used, sold, leased or otherwise exploited, whether during or
after the term hereof.

     In the  event  you  receive,  as all  or  part  of  your  compensation  for
activities hereunder, stock or the right to buy stock in any corporation, or you
become  the  packager  or owner of all or part of  rights  in any  entertainment
property, whether as individual proprietor,  stockholder, partner, joint venture
or otherwise, our percentage shall apply to your said stock, right to buy stock,
individual proprietorship, partnership, joint venture or other form of interest,
and we shall be entitled to our percentage share thereof. Should you be required
to make any payment for such interest,  we will pay our percentage share of such
payment, unless we do not want our percentage share thereof.

     Notwithstanding  the above,  while artist  advances and/or overages paid to
you by record companies and/or  television or film/video  producers are included
in "gross  compensation",  the actual  costs of  recording,  the actual costs of
production,  the  production  costs of any  promotional  videos  and/or any tour
support  amounts  advanced by such entities are excluded from the  definition of
"gross  compensation"  hereunder  and shall not be subject to  commission by us.
Likewise,  the actual costs of staging or producing  live or televised or filmed
performances  which  do not  result  in  personal  income  to you  shall  not be
commissionable by us.

     We shall receive the foregoing compensation whether or not any engagements,
contracts and agreements or income producing activities shall have been procured
by you as a result of our advice,  consultation  or other efforts and whether or
not the term of said  employment,  engagement,  contract,  agreement  or  income
producing  activity shall be effective or continue  before,  during or after the
term of this agreement,  provided that you earn gross  compensation with respect
thereto  during  the time  periods  set forth in  clauses 5 (c) (ii) and  (iii),
herein below.



         C.       Scope of Activities Subject to Commission

entertainment industries if such gross compensation is earned, received or

extensions thereof, or if such gross compensation accrues after the term of this
agreement as a result of any employment performed during this agreement or if
such gross compensation is the result of:

existence;

including its subparagraphs, compensation you receive from songwriter publishing
income (so long as Manager or Manager's related entity is the publisher of such
songs) and live engagements promoted by Manager's related entities shall not be
considered "Gross Compensation" commissionable by Manager under this Agreement,

agreement and any extensions thereof, we (and our assigns) shall have the
exclusive right and authority, on your behalf, to receive your gross
compensation from your activities in the entertainment industry. Upon our
receipt of such gross compensation, we shall remit the entire amount due to you
(minus commissions or expenses due us) or your authorized business manager

         In the event you receive gross compensation directly from any employer
or purchaser of your services in the entertainment industry, payments due us
hereunder shall be payable to us within ten (10) days after your receipt of the
same. Gross compensation shall be deemed to have been received by you, and we
shall receive our commission thereof, if such gross income is received, directly
or indirectly, by you or by any other party or entity for you or on your behalf,
or by any party or entity which furnished your services.




         F.       Controlled Entities

     You will cause any corporation, partnership, trust or other business entity

you  have a  direct  or  indirect  interest  of any  nature  or sort or which is
directly or indirectly  controlled by you or under the common control of you and
others (hereinafter  "firm") and which firm has a right to any of your services,
to enter into an agreement with us on the same terms and conditions as contained
in this  agreement,  and you  agree  that all  gross  compensation  directly  or
indirectly earned or received by such firm in connection with your activities in

shareholders, officers, directors, and employees, whether acting alone or in
association with others, may package an entertainment program in which you are
employed as an artist, or may act as the entrepreneur or promoter of an
entertainment program in which you are employed as an artist, or may employ you
in connection with the creation of literary or musical works. Such activity on
our part shall not be or deemed a breach of this agreement or of our fiduciary
obligations and duties to you, and shall not in any way affect our right to
commissions hereunder in all instances not covered by the following exceptions.

         We shall not be entitled to commissions from you in connection with any
gross compensation derived by you:

         A. From any employment or agreement under which you are employed by us
or by any person, firm or corporation owned or controlled by us, or by our
partners, shareholders, officers, directors or employees, whether we (or such
person, firm or corporation or such partners, shareholders, officers, directors
or employees) are acting as (i) the package agent for the entertainment program

         B. From the sale, license or grant of any literary or musical rights to

         Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to excuse you
from the payment of commissions upon gross compensation derived by you from your
employment or any sale, license or grant of rights in connection with any
entertainment program, phonograph record or other matter merely because we or
any of our partners, shareholders, officers, directors or employees are also
employed in connection therewith as a producer, director, conductor, or in some
other management or supervisory capacity, but not as your employer, grantee or
licensee.

         Further, in the event that either the aforesaid "Music Publishing
Agreement", or the "Exclusive Artist Recording Agreement", or both, for whatever
reason, are no longer in effect during the term of this agreement, and you enter
into an agreement with another Music Publisher or Record Company during the term
of this agreement, ("Successor Agreements"), any fees or royalties paid to you
pursuant to such "Successor Agreements" which would be commissionable to us
shall be included in the computation of your "Gross Compensation" for purposes
of determining our commissions hereunder.

10.      INDEMNITY

         In the event that you do not fulfill or cause to be fulfilled any
agreement or obligation undertaken by you, you agree to indemnify and hold us

this contract if for any reason whatsoever you are unable or unwilling to render
your services in the entertainment industries. Such suspension shall commence
upon written notice to you and shall last for the duration of any period of time
equal to the duration of such suspension, and shall be added to the term of this
contract. In addition, if you fail to render your services in the entertainment
industries as aforesaid then we may, in addition to other remedies provided for
herein, terminate this contract upon written notice to you.

12. LIFE INSURANCE

         We shall have the right during the term hereof to obtain life insurance
on your life at our sole cost and expense, with us being the sole beneficiary
thereof. You agree to fully cooperate in connection with the obtaining of the
same and to submit to a physical examination and complete any and all documents
necessary or desirable in respect thereof. You hereby acknowledge that neither
you nor your estate shall have any right to claim the benefits of any such
policy obtained by us.

13. MANAGEMENT COMPANY'S SERVICES NON-EXCLUSIVE

and that we may perform the same or similar services for others as well as

Additionally, you agree not to commit any act which shall subject us, our
officers, employees, assigns or yourself to public ridicule, humiliation or
disrepute. Failure by you to comply with the provisions of this paragraph shall
give us the right to immediately terminate this agreement.

16. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES

         In the event of any dispute under or relating to the terms of this
agreement, or the breach, validity, or legality thereof, it is agreed that the
same shall be submitted to arbitration to the American Arbitration Association
in Orlando, Orange County, Florida (for so long as our principal place of
business remains in Orange County, Florida), and in accordance with the rules
promulgated by the said association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the
event we move our principal place of business from Orange County, Florida, you
and we shall negotiate in good faith as to the venue for arbitration, but if we
cannot agree, venue shall remain in Orlando, Orange County, Florida. This

jurisdiction. We have at all times advised you that we are not licensed to seek,
procure, or obtain employment or engagements for you, and we do not agree to do
so; we have made no representations to you, either oral or written, to the
contrary, and you acknowledge that we are not obligated, authorized, licensed or
expected to do so.

20. WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

         You warrant, represent and agree that you are over the age of eighteen

22.      MISCELLANEOUS

     A. This agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto
relating to the subject matter hereof.  You and we acknowledge  that we have had
preliminary  discussions concerning this agreement.  We each understand that all
such  discussions  and the hopes  expressed in such  discussions are not binding

modification,  amendment, waiver, termination, or discharge of this agreement or
any of the terms or provisions thereof shall be binding upon either of us unless
confirmed by a written  instrument  signed by you and by us. No waiver by either
of us of any term or  provision of this  agreement  or of any default  hereunder
shall affect our respective  rights thereafter to enforce such term or provision
or to exercise any right or remedy in the event of any other default, whether or
not similar.


         B. If any provision of this agreement shall be held void, invalid or
inoperative, no other provisions of this contract shall be affected as a result
thereof, and, accordingly, the remaining provisions of this agreement shall
remain in full force and effect as though such void, invalid or inoperative
provision had not been contained herein. In the event this entire agreement is

entitled to the reasonable value of our services and to retain all compensation
paid to us hereunder as the reasonable value of said services.

certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, of the nature of such
breach, and we shall have failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days
after our receipt of such written notice.

         D. Nothing herein contained shall constitute a partnership or joint
venture between you and us. Neither you nor we shall hold ourselves out contrary
to the terms of this paragraph, and neither you nor we shall become liable for
any representation, act or omission of the other contrary to the provisions
hereof. This agreement shall not be deemed to give any right or remedy to any
third party whatsoever unless said right or remedy is specifically granted by us
in writing to such third party.

         E. We shall not be required to travel or to meet with you at any
particular place or places except in our discretion and following arrangements
for costs and expenses of such travel as set forth herein.

based upon this agreement brought by either party hereto against the other, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other its reasonable
attorney fees in connection therewith in addition to the costs of such action,
suit or proceeding.

         G. Except as otherwise provided herein, all rights and remedies herein
or otherwise shall be cumulative and none of them shall be in limitation of any
other right or remedy.

         H. This agreement has been entered into in the State of Florida, and
its validity, construction, interpretation and legal effect shall be governed by
the laws and judicial decisions of the State of Florida, applicable to contracts
entered into and performed entirely within said State. Whenever there is any
conflict between the provisions of this agreement, any present or future
statute, law, ordinance or regulation, or rule or regulation of any union or
guild, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the provisions of this
agreement affected shall be curtailed or limited to the extent necessary to
bring this agreement within the requirements of the said Law or regulation.

         I. This agreement shall not become effective until signed by you and
countersigned by us.

Hi, I’m a tech lawyer who helps startups move fast without breaking things legally. I work with founders, product teams, and early-stage companies tackling messy legal and compliance challenges. From launching MVPs to signing your first customers, raising capital, or issuing tokens, I make sure legal supports your growth, not slows it down. With 15+ years of experience at global tech companies and in-house roles, I’ve helped startups across AI, Web3, SaaS, and gaming lay solid legal foundations. I bring sharp, practical advice that fits your stage, your budget, and your ambitions. I offer fractional general counsel support - senior legal expertise without the full-time overhead. Here’s how I can help: Product & Privacy Launch smart with privacy-by-design, strong TOS, and compliance (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, etc.). Commercial Contracts SaaS, vendor, data, pilot, licensing. I’ll help you close clean, scalable deals. IP & Open Source Protect what you build. I’ll guide you on patents, trade secrets, and open source use. Crypto & Web3 Token grants, incentive plans, securities and tax issues, DAO structures - I’ve done it. AI Legal & Governance I advise AI teams on legal risk, model oversight, and emerging regulations (US, EU, global). Fundraising & Corporate Stay investor-ready with clean docs, smart governance, and solid equity structure. Regulatory Strategy Fintech, payments, data. I'll turn complex rules into actionable legal strategies. I speak founder. I’ve been inside startups and know what scrappy, strategic legal support looks like.

New York, New York
26 Yrs Experience
Licensed in NY
University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law

I’m a New York-based attorney with over 20 years of experience, working at the intersection of litigation and transactional law. I help individuals and businesses create solid legal documents — prenups, contracts, leases, and more — with an eye toward clarity, fairness, and long-term protection. As a litigator, I’ve seen firsthand how vague or one-sided agreements can lead to unnecessary disputes, court battles, and financial stress. That perspective shapes the way I draft and review documents: I build them to stand up, not just get signed. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, launching a business, or resolving a dispute, I bring a practical, client-first approach rooted in legal insight and lived experience. Clients appreciate that I explain the law in plain language, respect their time, and tailor every solution to fit their goals — not just the paperwork. Let’s make sure you’re protected — not just on paper, but in real life.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
