Hi everyone,
I have a question on how to go about finding a good entertainment lawyer. If anyone has any contacts in the LA/ Orange county area, please post them. I have a friend who is in desperate need of an entertainment lawyer to look over some contracts for a possible series based around them. It seems legit but he needs help with negotiating. He also needs an agent that maybe specializes in reality TV type shows. Where should he look?
Thanks!
Thanks so much Robert, your a prince of a man!
Hi Lynn. Thank you for the kind words! It sounds like you are doing very well! I would suggest, before setting up an LLC, to speak to a California attorney as there are differences between LLC's and Corps in California where you may want to set up an S Corp instead. Also, if you are using a "Trade Name", you may want to trademark it. You should also get Federal and State Tax ID numbers, and I recommend opening a separate bank account for your business and running all of your deposits and business expenses through that. It will be much easier accounting wise, come tax time.
So, all voiceover folks here, what kind of, if any, insurance do you carry for your VO Business?

What is your opinion on the necessity of Error and Omission insurance? I have an attorney friend - not familiar with the VO world - who says I should consider E & O coverage?
