Frequently Asked Questions
For Content Creators
What is contract maintenance, and when can I use it?
Contract maintenance is a targeted update in which Foundwell Legal drafts or updates one clause in your contract to reflect a change in your services, policies, or applicable law. It is different from Clause Review, which evaluates feedback another party has proposed to one clause or term.
What can we discuss during the consultation?
The consultation is a chance for us to meet, discuss your needs, learn more about Foundwell Legal's services, and talk through whether working together may be a good fit.
Do I need to have a manager to hire you?
No. I review brand deals for creators both with and without managers. I also review management and talent agency agreements for creators considering new representation.
I have a manager and/or an agent. What services might I need you for?
Your representative will typically review a brand deal’s commercial terms and help foster your relationship with the brand. An attorney looks more closely at provisions that can affect you beyond the campaign, including how long the brand can use your content, whether you can work with competitors, who may be responsible if something goes wrong, and how either party can end the deal. We can also draft brand-deal templates, confidentiality agreements, model releases, and collaboration agreements. If you are considering leaving your current representation or signing with a new manager or agent, we can review the applicable agreements and advise you on your options.
Can you work with clients based anywhere?
Usually, yes. Foundwell Legal is a California law practice and works with clients nationwide on general business contracts, which we can place under California or another agreed-upon governing law. Because Foundwell Legal is licensed only in California, if your deal turns on another state's specific laws we will advise you to work with an attorney in your state. Foundwell Legal does not hold itself out as licensed outside California.
