Who We Work With: Influencers

Law and Social Media

Influencers have changed the way we interact on the Internet, how we find and purchase new products and services, and how we consume media. Influencers can sway opinion and have a lot of cultural impact and especially through social media. However, to be a successful influencer, it takes far more than just a social media handle and a sparkling personality. There are a litany of legal rights and agreements that can be crucial in an influencer’s career. These can include copyrights, trademarks, service agreements, sponsorship and endorsement deals, music rights, and federally mandated disclosure requirements. The experienced lawyers at Creative Law Network are experts in this field! Check out our Influencer Legal Checklist for a list of things to consider and ways we can help.
