Why I Need an Influencer Attorney?
Influencers encounter numerous legal complexities, from contract negotiations to intellectual property concerns to compliance with FTC regulations. A specialized attorney can help you avoid pitfalls and protect your brand. Here’s how I can assist:
Contract Review and Negotiation to ensure your agreements are fair and beneficial to you as a content creator
FTC Compliance to keep your content compliant with ever-changing regulations and avoid fines
Intellectual Property Protection to safeguard your content and your brand
Dispute Resolution to effectively handle conflicts to protect your interests
What types of contracts do you specialize in for influencers?
I specialize in various contracts including talent management agreements, agency signing agreements, brand partnerships, sponsored content agreements, NDAs, content licensing agreements, and more. Through each contract, I tailor the verbiage to fulfill your needs and protect your content, rights and brand.
What is FTC compliance and why is it important?
FTC compliance refers to the Federal Trade Commission’s rules on disclosing paid partnerships and endorsements on all social media sites. Failure to comply can result in fines or penalties to your social media pages. I can help ensure your content meets all regulatory requirements.
How do you help protect my intellectual property?
I assist in safeguarding your content, trademarks, and brand identity through proper copyright and trademark registration. To protect a trademark, I perform a thorough trademark search to avoid future conflicts and complete the application to ensure your trademark meets all legal requirements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). To register a copyright, I complete and file your application with the U.S. Copyright Office, ensuring your creative works are protected under federal law. These protections are crucial for maintaining exclusive rights to your content, whether it’s your brand logo, videos, or other original works, and allows you to enforce your rights against unauthorized use or infringement.
Do you offer services for dispute resolution?
Yes, I provide legal advice and representation in disputes related to brand partnerships, contract breaches, and other influencer-related issues. My goal is to resolve conflicts quickly and favorably for you.
How is your pricing structured?
Instead of the traditional billable hours, I offer a transparent, flat-rate pricing model. This allows you to understand upfront what each service will cost without worrying about hourly billing; however, I do offer an hourly rate if you prefer that. Please refer to my Services page to see all pricing quotes. Some services require additional information to receive an accurate quote - let’s discuss!
What if I’m just starting as an influencer - can you still help?
Absolutely! Whether you’re just beginning or have a well-established brand, I can help you navigate the legal aspects of your career, ensuring you start out on the right foot and build a solid foundation.
