Greetings all,
I am in negotiations with a producer on one of my scripts. He sent a contract to me but I would feel more secure if I were to have an entertainment attorney look it over.
I am of the understanding that some attorneys will work for commission in lieu of up-front payment. Sort of like an agent/manager. (I will be getting not only writing credits/pay but I will be directing also. So more money for the commission.)
I do have a manager but they are not involved with this project. (to be honest I may consider changing managers because the person I have for some reason will not do anything.)
So I am writing to ask if anyone here knows of a good entertainment lawyer who will work for commission (I understand it is traditionally 5% but is that the same if my manager is not involved? Does it go up to 10%?)
Since I can do most if not all correspondence with the attorney via email and fax they don't necessarily need to be in my area but I would prefer the names of people in the Los Angeles/San Diego county areas.
I thank you all in advance and hope each and every one of you finds your dream has become reality.
