Preparation of a Contractor Agreement for Audio Track Mastering

An artist engaged legal support for the preparation and review of a contractor agreement with an engineer responsible for the final processing of an audio track. The resulting agreement was structured to provide maximum protection for the client’s interests, including detailed provisions on ownership of rights, the limits of permissible technical processing, approval of any changes, confidentiality, prohibition on the contractor’s independent use or publication of the material, deletion of files after completion, software compliance requirements, and liability for breaches.
