Career Contract DeskLook beyond “industry standard”

The practical questions are what you must do, what the company must deliver, and what happens if you leave.

Career contract signing support

Contracts we can help organise

Model, talent, MCN, livestream, guild and agency agreements; internship, employment, freelance, consultancy, training-linked and project contracts; and documents containing long exclusivity, high liquidated damages, non-compete restrictions, image or content licences, automatic renewal or complex deductions.

If a friend or lawyer has already identified concerns, we turn those points into a negotiation list, version comparison and action plan.

Check the company and contracting entity

We organise public company-registration information, trading history, visible litigation or operational risk signals, and check the names used for contracting, receiving payment, stamping and communication.

Public information is a screening tool, not a legal conclusion. Age, registered capital or company size alone does not make a contract safe.

Seven areas to examine

Balanced obligations: are your duties precise while the company only promises to “try”?
Workable exit: termination triggers, notice periods, damages and unilateral rights.
Transparent income: commission base, deductions, settlement dates, invoices and audit rights.

Rights licences: name, image, voice, content and social accounts, including territory and duration.
Freedom to work: exclusivity, non-compete and restrictions on other income.
Upfront charges: training, photography, packaging, equipment, deposits and refunds.
Complete schedules: resources, bookings, assessment, payment and exit mechanics in writing.

Turn risks into negotiation requests

We separate points into must change, must clarify and acceptable; prepare meeting questions and written amendment requests; and compare each new version so verbal promises are captured in the agreement or schedules.

You make the final decision. Questions about enforceability, damages, non-compete restrictions, disputes or material financial exposure should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.

Eight-step support workflow

1. Initial triage by contract type and deadline.
2. Redact identity, banking, address and signature data.
3. Company check and document timeline.
4. Red, amber and green risk map.
5. Lawyer review where required.
6. Negotiation and version follow-up.
7. Final text, schedules, dates and signature check.
8. Agreed reminders for payment, delivery, notice periods and evidence retention.

Fees, third-party costs and scope

Initial triage is free: we confirm whether the matter fits this service, whether the file is complete and whether legal advice is needed immediately.

Ongoing support is quoted in writing: based on page count, versions, company-check scope, negotiation rounds, urgency and support period.

Third-party costs are separate: lawyers, translators, notaries, registry searches and other professional services. We do not promise amendments, earnings or dispute outcomes and do not describe non-lawyer work as a “legal review”.

Five details to start

Contract type; company and jurisdiction; contract term and signing deadline; whether any fee has been paid; and the three clauses that concern you most. Redact unnecessary personal data before sending documents.

If we have already spoken on Threads, reply in that conversation. You can also use WhatsApp or Email. Do not send identity documents, bank details or a complete signature page for the initial triage.

Updated 16 September 2026. Applicable law, company status and contractual risk must be assessed against the latest documents and relevant jurisdiction.
