Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

Re: Booking & Artist Management

I have not heard of that law, it does not seem to be a conflict of interest, however, each booking would need a conflict of interest determination. If you's like a final opinion as to whether or not there is a statutory prohibition for the dual role, please call me directly at 16192223504.

Re: Booking & Artist Management

Yes, it's true. NY has a similar law. In effect, agents need to register and post bonds and their commissions are regulated. Managers may not regularly solicit employment. To do so would subject the person to possible criminal and civil liability and the loss of all commissions to be paid and the reimbursement of all commissions previously paid.

Re: Booking & Artist Management

Further to my previous response, there is an exception for recording contracts under California law, but even this exception may be subject to certain limitations.
