## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Sports & Entertainment Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/sports-and-entertainment-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | Fill a fixed table of appearance fee, options, holdbacks, name-and-likeness grant and term from the agreement the lawyer supplies. Quote the clause pin. Add no advice. |
| What the lawyer must review | You check each figure and date against the clause before it is used. A name, voice, signature, photograph or likeness grant is read against the statute that applies, such as California Civil Code § 3344, which requires prior consent for knowing commercial use. Opinion 512: a summary is checked against the document, and client drafts stay out of a public tool. |

- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.
