Florida Modeling Contract Lawyers Working for You
At the law firm Tom J. Manos, P.A., we are experienced trial attorneys. We know first-hand the legal implications that can result when business relationships and the scope of modeling assignments are not accurately defined.

We offer advice and legal counseling up front to all industry participants to help them avoid problems before they occur, such as the scope of an assignment, royalties and compensation for using an image, arrangements for the shoot, and legalities associated with obtaining permits, etc. Our entertainment law firm seeks to avoid litigation through developing clear and precise contractual agreements that protect your interests.
