Are there any Calif limits on the percentage of
royalties in lieu of hourly fees that an entertainment
lawyer might be allowed to contract for when setting
up a license agreement?

Someone mentioned that there is legal limit that
agents can contract for.

If there is a legal limit for attorneys, can you
cite the Calif code sections that apply?

Calif Busn and Prof Code section 6146 et seq covers
limits on "contingency fees". But that seems to
cover only fees contingent on recovering damages
in a lawsuit and on claims between merchants.

There used to be (and may still be) a limit that agents (but not
managers) can charge as a percentage fee. But I'm not aware of a
limit on what a lawyer can charge, other than the standard that a fee
must be reasonable.

That only covers medical malpractice cases.
