When to Hire an Influencer Lawyer 

Mistakes can happen at any stage of an Influencer’s career. Those with only a few thousand followers may receive contracts offering modest compensation for collaborating with a company. The pay may not seem enough to justify hiring an attorney. This common mistake can cause influencers to lose money, experience avoidable legal issues, and lose out on more lucrative opportunities because of legal conflicts.

Hire an Influencer Lawyer before signing any contract, even one-time agreements. Legal issues can occur during any deal. FTC regulations apply no matter how little the influencer makes for their recommendations. An attorney may help the influencer earn a more favorable payout from even one-time agreements.

Influencers should also talk to a lawyer if they do not feel they received adequate compensation. Contracts can vary for each deal. Influencers may receive compensation based on the number of posts, likes received on a sponsored post or through clicks and purchases from followers as an affiliate. Some influencers may also make appearances on behalf of a company they represent. An Influencer Law Firm can review financial records if the influencer feels they received inadequate compensation despite meeting all requirements.

Perdomo Law Influencer Attorneys Represent Either Side in a Dispute

Hiring an Influencer Law Firm becomes necessary whenever litigation concerns arise, even if the law team was not a part of the original contract negotiations. An attorney from Perdomo Law can assist those filing a claim for breach of contract against a company sponsoring them. Or to start litigation on behalf of the influencer against others for many reasons.

An influencer attorney can also defend influencers sued by a sponsor or other company. Companies may file claims if they do not feel the influencer put enough effort into advertising their product or that they created a conflict of interest by recommending a competitor’s product. Influencer lawyers can also assist if a sponsor wants to break a contract because of disagreements about political viewpoints or other social issues or because they believe the influencer has diminishing visibility or exaggerated their reach.

The Benefits of Hiring an Influencer Law Firm

Not all law offices have the experience necessary to represent influencers adequately. Always hire a team that understands multiple forms of law for these issues. Conflicts involving influencers require a professional understanding of contracts, trademarks, and business law. Not knowing the current regulations can reduce the benefit an attorney has for their client. 



An influencer lawyer can help clients protect their investments, income, and reputation. Social media followers purchase products based on influencer recommendations. Visits and likes to pages can disappear when a reputation becomes tarnished during a dispute. Knowing how to manage the potential effects of a publicized legal dispute can help the influencer avoid losing their online power. A law firm familiar with the industry reduces or eliminates potential losses.
