Managing Relationships: Contracts 101

As an artist and an entrepreneur, contracts are an essential tool for your business. Whether you are creating commissioned work, a musician performing a gig, a filmmaker licensing music, or any artist engaged in any business relationship, you are probably entering into contracts on a regular basis. But do you know how to create a contract or what terms are important? This class will provide you with an overview of contract law, including essential aspects of contract formation and standard contract provisions.

Instructor: Laura Levin-Dando, VLA Staff Attorney. Laura regularly advises clients on a range of issues including disputes, contracts, intellectual property matters, and corporate and not-for-profit formation and governance.

Note: This workshop is the second in a three-part series, and it is followed by “Accounting, Budgeting, & Cash: ABCs of Business Finance”. Participants can take all three workshops in this series or individual workshops that best suit their needs and interests.
