Business & Legal Forms for Fine Artists

Here's a complete set of business and legal forms, including sample contracts, for your every need as a fine artist. At the front of Business and Legal Forms for Fine Artists you'll find one copy of 19 different forms, each with step-by-step instructions on how to fill it out. At the back of the book you'll find on tear-out perforated pages for easy use another 8 by 11 copy of each form. These forms can be photocopied for use again and again in your profession. In addition, all the forms are included on a CD-ROM to aid in customizing for individual needs.

You'll also find such additional helpful information as an introduction to contracts, how to negotiate, advice on standard contractual provisions, and how to contact volunteer lawyers for the arts. Unique negotiation checklists for each form guide you to the best deal even if the other party has drafted the contract.
