Description: This 1.5 hour virtual CLE webinar will equip young lawyers with the skills to confidently read and understand talent agreements - laying the groundwork for drafting these contracts in the future. Josh will walk through key provisions of SAG-AFTRA performer agreements, offering a side-by-side comparison of scale vs premium deals. He will highlight not only what’s included in these agreements, but more importantly, what’s often missing - helping attendees spot omissions, red flags, and opportunities for negotiation.
