FOR TALENT MANAGEMENT AGENCIES
Legal backing on every brand deal your roster signs.
Redline Ready gives talent management agencies an attorney-trained AI playbook that redlines brand deals right inside Microsoft Word, plus direct access to me for the questions AI can't answer.
Built on over a decade of negotiating brand, media, and entertainment deals.
As a creator manager, participating in [Redline Ready] has been absolutely invaluable. It continues to be the best money I spend each month for my business. Having access to the redlining platform means that I can more confidently and expeditiously negotiate contracts for my clients. And knowing that I can ask Casey a question if needed also gives me peace of mind. I negotiate brand deals from a fair pay perspective for women artists and business owners and [Redline Ready] helps to make the power dynamic between brands and creators a little less steep. It's a necessary part of my toolkit in making the creator economy fairer and more transparent.
The AI tool caught anything they would have, so the feeling of relief in suggestions was great! Using the AI tool saved a lot of time with our team not having to manually read through line by line, trusting that the tool was going to do that for them. They would then navigate the tool's suggestions and skim through headers that typically had issues they'd run into (such as usage, exclusivity, etc.). The AI tool caught anything they would have so the feeling of relief in suggestions was great.
So much ease now, and I can redline my contracts with one click. I got time to work on other things + saved more patience for my day lol!
THE GAP
The deals no one else wants to touch still need a second look.
Your roster signs brand deals every week. Most are too small to send to outside counsel, and most lawyers won't take them for what they pay. Some of your creators have their own lawyers for the big deals. Many rely on you for all of it. Either way, the everyday deals land on your desk, between calls, campaigns, and everything else you manage.
You know these contracts well. The risk is in what's different this time:
✓ A clause you haven't seen before, buried in the brand's standard terms
✓ Terms that don't match what was agreed over email
✓ Usage rights that quietly run in perpetuity
✓ Exclusivity windows wider than the campaign
✓ Language that lets the brand train AI on your creator's likeness
✓ A brand that won't make the terms mutual
One missed clause on a small deal can cost a creator more than the deal paid. Redline Ready puts the same standard on every contract, not only the ones that reach a lawyer's desk.
An attorney-trained playbook on every deal, and an attorney when you need one.
Your AI contract playbook
Open a brand deal in Microsoft Word and click once. The playbook reviews it against attorney standards, redlines it in place, and adds suggested language and comments where brands push back most. It flags usage rights, exclusivity, IP ownership, AI training, payment terms, and more. Your documents stay in a secure environment on your desktop.
This isn't a general chatbot. It's a playbook built on attorney standards from global media, entertainment, and retail deals, not the open internet.
Direct access to me
Ask the questions the AI can't answer in our private Slack: a clause you've never seen, a brand that won't budge, a deal that feels off.
A setup call and live trainings
Start with an introductory setup call to get the playbook running on your first contract, so tech is never the barrier. When I make major updates to the playbook, I host a live training on negotiation strategy and what changed.
Templates and resources
Contract templates, a late-payment demand letter, checklists, and on-demand workshops.
Attorney review when it counts
When a deal needs a formal sign-off, request a review through the membership. Reviews are billed per submission.

If you manage talent, negotiate brand partnerships, or regularly find yourself reviewing influencer agreements, Redline Ready™ is a tool worth exploring.
Built as part of The Contract Collective, Redline Ready™ is an AI-powered contract review and redlining platform designed specifically around the realities of creator and influencer brand deals. Instead of spending hours reading through every agreement line by line or second-guessing whether a clause is worth pushing back on, the tool helps surface potential issues quickly and provides guidance on how to approach them. It can flag key areas such as usage rights, exclusivity, intellectual property, and other terms that can have a meaningful impact on a creator’s deal, while also providing suggested negotiation language and the ability to apply redlines with a click.
WHO IT'S FOR
Redline Ready is for you if:
• You run or work at a talent management agency with a steady flow of brand deals
• You or your managers handle redlines on the deals that don't go to outside counsel
• You're the bottleneck, and every contract waits for your review
• You want one standard across every manager and every deal on your roster
It's not the right fit if:
• You need representation on a single large deal. Apply to work with my firm instead.
• Your contracts are governed by non-U.S. law. The playbook is built on U.S. law.

Sometimes I can't believe we have so much access and resources at this price point. It's truly SO valuable, especially for small businesses who can't afford full-time dedicated legal counsel."

Built by the attorney agencies call for the big deals.
I'm Casey Handy-Smith, an entertainment and IP attorney with over a decade of experience negotiating deals across global media, music, film, and consumer brands. My clients include top creator agencies, New York Times bestselling authors, and nationally known podcasters.
I built Redline Ready because talented people shouldn't be held back by contracts they can't get reviewed. The playbook carries the same standards I use on my own client work, and I keep it current as the industry shifts. My work on attorney-trained AI has been featured in Forbes, and I've trained AI models on legal reasoning and contract law.
