Just as the wedding and music festival season truly gets underway, we’re pleased to announce the introduction of two new legal templates designed to protect the interests of bands and musical performers.
Available through Allianz Legal Assistance, these new templates enable musicians to prepare legal documents quickly and simply, and specify the contractual obligations and deliverables of both band members and clients.

Music performance agreement
Band members' agreement
If two or more people perform music together with the intention of making a profit, this usually creates a band members’ agreement, referred to in legal terms as a general partnership. This band members’ agreement is a type of partnership agreement, which can be used to regulate the partnership and the relationship between the band members.
Areas covered include:
- What's expected of each band member
- How band leading tasks will be managed
- How administrative tasks will be managed
- How decisions are made and who makes them
- Whether and when the band members will be expected to contribute cash
- The band members' rights to a share of the cash, profits and royalties and how that's calculated
- How new band members can join
- What happens if a band member leaves
- The circumstances in which a band member can be expelled from the band
- Accounting and banking procedures
