template

Good fit for

  • +Co-writers, co-artists, or a band/collective creating a work together, agreeing on ownership upfront
  • +Clarifying credit and revenue splits before a joint creative project starts

Not ideal for

Before you start. Nomos provides general information and document templates. It isn't a law firm, doesn't give legal advice, and nothing here tells you what to do in your own situation. Unless a template shows a "Reviewed by" badge, it hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer. Have a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction review any document before you rely on or sign it.
