Mid-tier talent firm Rothman Brecher Ehrich Livingston Agency has signed a franchise agreement with the Writers Guild of America
, the guild announced Monday, joining such agencies as Kaplan Stahler, Buchwald and Abrams in breaking ranks with the Association of Talent Agencies. Two other agencies firmly in the writer business, Verve and Culture Creative Entertainment, are also signatories but not ATA members. Most of the other 70 or so signatories do not represent significant numbers of writers.
"Rothman Brecher Ehrich Livingston is pleased to announce that it has signed a new Franchise Agreement with the WGA,” the firm said in a statement. The negotiated agreement, which the WGA said any agency could adopt, allows packaging fees during a sunset period ending Jan. 22, 2021, a date subject to extension if the guild has not reached agreements with, or otherwise prohibited the receipt of packaging fees by, at least two of the four largest agencies, in order “to ensure that [Rothman Brecher] is not placed at a competitive disadvantage with such competitor agencies.
