Talent and Performer Agreement
About this document
When you film, photograph or record someone for a commercial project, you need their written agreement to use their performance and likeness in the way you intend. Performers have legal rights in their recorded performances, and usage terms (where and for how long the content can be used) are often the biggest cost and the biggest cause of disputes. This agreement records the booking, the fee, the buyout and the consents you need.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
