SERVICES

Licensing, Production, and Industry Agreements

Agreements are how we sign on to projects; they tell us who owns the rights to the work, what kind of working we’re agreeing to do, and what happens to everyone’s contributions down the road.

Whether you are drafting production agreements for a theatrical season or want to enter into a collaboration agreement to write the next Great American Novel with your best friend, making sure the agreements you are signing are tailored to your needs and artistic goals is key.

Business Formation

Do you want to start a production company to bring unique stories to life?

Are you looking to protect your copyright assets under your own company?

Or, are you and your crew ready to set up that 501(c)(3) you’ve been dreaming about over Saturday brunches?

These may only be the things I think about over Saturday brunches, but starting a business for your artistic pursuits can be scary and nerve-wracking and exciting and fulfilling. G. Gomez Law can help identify the situations where starting a business can advance your dreams and situations where you may want to consider alternatives.

Guild Compliance

Guilds are labor unions that lobby and fight for their members’ rights to fair wages, safe work environments, and protective contract terms. Well-known guilds include, to name a few:

Violation of guild rules can lead to hefty fines and disciplinary actions, so whether you are a guild member or a signatory, it is important to know how to work within the parameters of guild contracts and processes.

Arts Practice / Business Development

Want to discuss options and opportunities for your creative practice?

Want to ask questions of someone who has been there and can keep an eye on the legal risks?

As a fellow artist, I’ve done my fair share of roundtables and fundraisers and grant applications and advertising campaigns, and what most people overlook is how their business is actually running.

If you’re looking to refresh your audience outreach, or implement a payroll system, or do a deep analysis into your processes to make your company more efficient, let’s sit down and figure out how to get you to that next level.

G. Gomez Law is a legal law firm that handles transactional work only. The firm does not handle civil or criminal litigation, nor does it act in any capacity as a talent agency or manager.
