Most creators rely on ChatGPT to review contracts or leave negotiations to their manager. But being a creator in 2025 means being a business owner, and that means understanding the basics of your own deals. Good contracts = freedom. Financial freedom, freedom to walk away from a bad situation, and peace of mind that your rights are protected. Contracts are the bridge between outdated laws and rapidly evolving technology. In this hands-on workshop, creator economy lawyer, Chelsey Mori, will show you how to find and fix hidden landmines buried in legalese across brand, agency, platform, and management agreements. You’ll learn how to redline properly, what changes to ask for, and how to push back without blowing up the deal. We’ll cover new AI clauses you need to include (and avoid), plus contract hacks around exclusivity, ownership, payment structure, approvals, takedowns, and liability. You’ll learn what templates every creator should have in their contract library, what terms to Control-F before signing, and how to future-proof your content as AI evolves—from recording your creative process for copyright protection to watermarking content and using tools to detect and remove deepfakes and impersonation accounts faster than a cease and desist. Channel your inner Harvey Specter or Elle Woods and learn to redline like a lawyer.
