Attorneys & Business Affairs

YouTube & Social Media

We are very proud  that our clients include some of the top talent on YouTube, Vine and other platforms. These clients have combined YouTube subscriber bases of over 30 million, and their video view counts are nearing 10 BILLION. SocialBlade, Tubefilter and others rank them among the top channels and influencers in the world. Our clients focused on Vine have multiple millions of followers and multiple billions of loops. When factoring in Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tumblr, etc., the "social reach" of our clients is staggering. This reach,  together with their talent, often now enables the leveraging of their social success into strong traditional media opportunities in television and film.

If you want to build a presence online, visibility on YouTube and other platforms is a necessity. If you are serious about your career, you need attorneys who understand both the legal and business issues you will encounter.

And if you are already successful on social media, having a knowledgeable lawyer is even more important. 

If you do not have proper representation, you could be leaving a lot of money on the table, your intellectual property rights could be at risk, and you might be exposing yourself to unnecessary risks or even lawsuits.
We can also provide counsel on important strategic decisions that arise, ranging from establishing management and agent relationships to evaluating brand integration and sponsorship opportunities.

There are numerous pitfalls to navigate regarding your social media presence. We can help you with all of them, including:
  • Maximizing Revenue
  • Negotiating the best possible deals with YouTube / content networks (referred to as multi-channel networks or “MCNs”)
  • Brand Integration and Sponsorship Deals
  • Monetization (through AdSense and other sources)
  • Rights Clearances
  • Release Agreements
  • Talent & Management Agreements
  • [and the many other issues that could arise]

Plus, we have strong relationships with all of the major YouTube Networks if that is an option you may be considering.
