Law Office of John HuttoPO Box 113Florence, AL 35631United Statesph: 256-335-4425fax: 888-897-4082johnhuttoattorney@yahoo.com Entertainment Employment contracts often involve complex interactions of contract and employment law  and are often difficult to understand. Often an entertainer or musician after discussing general terms of employment is presented with a complex contract 15-20 pages in length and requested to sign and return to the prospective employer in a short time frame. It is very important to establish your financial and professional goals at the onset and view the contract in terms of your goals and objectives. No entertainer or musician ever enter in an employment contract without fully understanding the terms and conditions of that contract. Muscle Shoals, Alabama is known for music and developing the Musle Shoals Sound. Musicians and Entertainers are oftened so overwhelmed at just being offered a recording contract that they sign without fully understanding the terms or having their own attorney review and advise them regarding the contract terms and their obligations under the contract.  Later, they may regret this decison as they find that what they thought was a great opportunity was not what  they envisioned. It is highly recommended that you consult an attorney familiar with  entertainment employment contracts to assist you in understanding the terms of the contract as well as negotiating the employment or recording contract on your behalf. As a musician or entertainer you should realize that often employers and recording labels are willing to negotiate the terms of the contract as well as the wording of the employment or recording  contract.
