MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS CHECKLISTApril 12th, 2023
FiledApril 12th, 2023A good relationship and clear communication is probably the most important factor for a manager in creating a successful partnership with any artist they manage. However, a Management Agreement that defines more specifically the nature of the relationship and the rights and obligations each party owes to the other is the best way of clarifying the details in a management relationship that may not otherwise be discussed and agreed. As these details often relate to the intricacies of how a manager is to be remunerated for their services, the exact extent of the manager’s powers in respect of the affairs of the artist and basis on which the relationship can be terminated by either party, the importance of having a good Management Agreement in place is obvious. Think of a good Management Agreement as an insurance policy that if required can be relied on to keep both parties true to the original deal that was agreed on at the outset of the relationship.
