Collaborating on high-stakes video projects in New York requires a robust legal framework that goes beyond simple b-roll and post-production workflows. Our Partnership Agreement is tailored for NY video production companies, ensuring compliance with N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 5-701 while addressing industry-specific liabilities like ASCAP/BMI licensing, talent disputes, and equipment insurance. By clearly defining profit sharing, management control, and intellectual property ownership according to the Copyright Act of 1976, this document shields your production house from the financial risks of location permit failures or storyboard disputes.
Beyond the standard partnership agreement sections, this template adds fields specific to Video Production Company:
A Partnership Agreement legally establishes the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of each partner involved in a business partnership. Its core purpose is to detail how the partnership will operate, distribute profits and losses, and outline procedures for resolving disputes and handling eventualities such as withdrawal or death of a partner.
Copyright Infringement
Use contracts that include warranties of originality and appropriate licensing agreements for footage and music.
Breach of Talent Agreement
Implement clear contractual terms detailing talent obligations, rights, and compensation.
For this partnership agreement to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
The agreement is structured around the Copyright Act of 1976, clearly defining the ownership of raw footage, color-graded masters, and final B-roll. It includes warranties of originality to mitigate infringement risks and ensures that all licenses for music (ASCAP/BMI) or stock footage are properly assigned to the partnership.
Yes. The agreement is designed to comply with NYC Local Laws including the 'Freelance Isn't Free Act' for any subcontracted crew and N.Y. Labor Law § 198-c regarding wage deductions. It also incorporates provisions for the NY SHIELD Act to ensure talent data and client storyboards are handled with mandated security standards.
The 'Indemnification and Liability' clause specifically addresses equipment liability. It outlines responsibility for gear damage and requires partners to maintain specific insurance coverage, preventing personal financial ruin if expensive cinema cameras or lighting rigs are lost on set.
Per our required Dispute Resolution clause, partners can opt for mediation or arbitration. This avoids the high costs of the New York court system and ensures that production-stopping disagreements—like disagreements over 'final cut' rights—are resolved through predefined legal paths.
