Contract Templates
Arts Law’s contract templates help artists and businesses build good legal contracts so everyone is on the same page. Each contract template includes a How To Guide and has example clauses you can edit to suit your situation.
After you complete the template we can review your contract to make sure it is exactly what you need.
If you’re not sure what contract you need or you can’t find what you’re looking for here you can talk to one of our lawyers to help you. Businesses and organisations who need our help to develop bespoke contracts can contact us for more information about our fee-for-service drafting options.
