• Payment terms and protection
• Recordings and content reuse
• Cancellations and rescheduling
• Use of your name, image and likeness
• Travel and event responsibilities

Why use this instead of just asking AI?

AI can be helpful, but it doesn't know what to look for in speaker agreements. Our assessment gives you the benefit of an attorney-developed framework.

  • Attorney-developed review framework focused on speakers
  • Consistent, reliable criteria across every agreement
  • Plain-English explanations with practical takeaways
  • No prompt engineering or legal guesswork required
