I am in IL and will be shooting all over the country. Not sure if this is a bad idea or if I need to consult different lawyers for each state I plan to shoot in.



Is a shelf corp different than an LLC? Also can you elaborate on the lawyer with non disclosure? I thought all lawyers owe you attorney-client privilege, which means they are essentially under NDA anyway.

Thanks for the link - but would prefer not to work with random lawyers each time I need help.





I am happy to sign under my name (of course with an NDA covered in the model release saying they can't disclose my real name) - but does there need to be a legal agreement saying I "John Doe" license to "XYZ LLC" even though I own XYZ LLC? Sounds like it complicates things a bit.
