Social media is where your brand gets built and where it gets ripped off, sometimes in the same afternoon. The legal issues stack up fast: trademark abuse, influencer disclosures, content ownership, and platform rules that can suspend your account with no warning. We advise brands and creators on the full range of social media legal matters so your presence drives the business instead of becoming a liability.
Protecting Your Brand
Impersonators, counterfeiters, and infringers move quickly on social platforms, and the brand that responds slowly pays for it in confused customers and lost trust. We monitor for trademark infringement and fake accounts, prepare and file platform takedown notices that actually get acted on, and escalate against repeat offenders. When a takedown stalls, we pursue the operator directly rather than waiting on a platform queue.
Influencer and Creator Deals
An influencer campaign that ignores FTC disclosure rules can turn a marketing win into an enforcement problem for the brand, not just the creator. We draft and negotiate influencer agreements that nail down content ownership and usage rights, mandatory disclosure of paid relationships, exclusivity, deliverables, and brand-safety terms. Both sides walk away knowing who owns the content, how it can be reused, and where the legal lines sit.
Platform Policies and Suspensions
Every platform writes its own content rules and enforces them unevenly, and a suspended account can cut off a real revenue channel overnight. We help you read those policies before they bite, respond to suspensions and takedowns with the right appeals, and build a posting strategy that stays inside the lines. Where an account is wrongly disabled, we press the platform through its formal channels to restore it.
Employee Social Media Policies
What your employees post reflects on the company, but policing it too aggressively runs into laws protecting their right to discuss working conditions. We draft employee social media policies that protect your brand, confidential information, and customer relationships while staying clear of the labor-law limits on what you can restrict. The result is guidance employees can follow and the company can actually enforce.
