    Post-Term Commissions
    Apr 6 2021
    In this week's episode, Professor Butler will continue to explore the issues involved in the lawsuit between Kelly Clarkson and her ex-manager/ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. In last season's Episode 12, which is Part I of this story, Professor Butler defined the elements of a binding contract using Clarkson's verbal management agreement as a backdrop. This week's focus is on post-term commissions, the reason why Kelly Clarkson MAY still owe commissions to a manager that she is no longer working with, and how a well-negotiated, written Sunset Clause, can keep the same thing from happening to you.
