Business Affairs is happy to review contracts members receive from international companies as long as they are unsigned and pertain to the member’s role as a writer for the theatre. However, because the industry standards and laws vary between countries, we cannot assess international contracts in the same way that we review contracts from the United States. We ultimately recommend contacting the other country’s writers’ guild or hiring a personal attorney with experience working in the country of question. Dramatists Guild members working in Great Britain can also access some of the services from the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain for free through our
Good Neighbour Initiative.
