It isn\u2019t unusual for talent managers and artists they manage to cofound and operatebusinesses together. For example, a recording artist and manager may join together to establish their own record label. If an artist\/manager partnership or joint-venture projects are to be part of the relationship, a manager will want the artist to sign a conflicts-of-interest waiver. This is because a manager owes an artist a fiduciary obligation based on the artist entrusting the manager to in good faith primarily further the artist\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sometimes, though, the talent manager may claim the artist has violated the manager\u2019s rights via the joint-business entity, as recently happened when talent manager Michael Gruen sued Josh Richards, a management client, actor, producer and social-media influencer over their Los Angeles-based CrossCheck Studios.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
