We offer legal advice in a variety of areas to influencers, creators, bloggers, and other social media brands. This often involves highly specific legal issues or the drafting of contracts. As lawyers specializing in influencer law, we regularly handle the following matters:
Model/Photo Release Agreements
This often involves the specific granting of usage rights in terms of content, geographical scope, or duration, as well as the issue of exclusivity. Attention should be paid to attribution requirements, confidentiality, and liability issues.
Advertising law
Influencers must ensure that they comply with legal regulations regarding advertising and disclosure. This includes disclosing paid partnerships, complying with disclosure requirements for sponsored content, and avoiding misleading advertising. Particular attention should be paid to the case law of the Federal Court of Justice. Here is an informative page covering all aspects of advertising disclosure requirements
Privacy Policy
Personal data is often processed, whether it comes from followers or partners. It is important to comply with applicable data protection laws, such as obtaining the necessary consent for data processing and ensuring appropriate security measures (GDPR).
Copyright
Influencers should ensure that they do not use copyrighted content without obtaining the necessary permissions or licenses. This applies in particular to the use of music, images, videos, or quotes from others. Our firm specializes in copyright law.
Agency and Management Contracts
When entering into such contracts, there are a number of pitfalls to watch out for that can have far-reaching consequences. These include contract terms, severance clauses, termination options, and the issue of final decision-making authority.
