If you have a specific question, I might be able to offer an opinion, with respect to what I would do as a composer. If you need actual contract review and legal advice, that’s another matter
Contracts, unlike copyrights, are governed by state law. My ability to work on a contract would be limited to residents of the state where I am licensed, and I would charge an hourly fee. Don’t you know that people only give music away? 😉
For composers and other artists on a budget, who need legal work, I highly recommend contacting the local volunteer lawyers for the arts. The VLA is a great resource, and there are chapters in many US cities, like New York, Philadelphia and Nashville.
Although I don’t consider “wiki” to be the authoritative source for anything, this link will provide you with links to VLA organizations in many States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_Lawyers_for_the_Arts
Best of luck.
