Two Thumbs Up
The reviews are in.
"The streamer's first offer had me working for scale with a 'promotional services' clause that would've owned my socials. Vivienne tripled the fee and killed the clause in one call."
Series lead · Streaming drama"Dez found reversion rights in a deal I signed at 19. Got my masters back at 31. There's no bigger sentence in my career."
Recording artist · Catalog reversion"Our doc had 212 archival clips and no E&O in sight. Marquee cleared every cue, and we closed distribution eight days after picture lock."

Deal memos become precedents for your whole career. A one-hour consult before signing costs less than one bad clause — and we've never met a deal without one.
