    Where did you find us/hear about us?

    I have read and accepted the terms and conditions. Click to read.

    While there are debates about when social media emerged, it’s impossible to refute that it has taken the world by storm. Social media has created unique earning opportunities for influencers, gamers, and anyone else who wishes to take advantage of its platforms. However, it has also presented new legal complexities. For that reason, social media law is now an area of legal expertise.

    If you are a content creator on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or any other social media platform, let the experienced social media lawyers at RM Warner Law help protect your online brand.

    What We Do

    Social media is ever-changing, and so are the laws that govern its use. So much so that it can be hard for content creators to keep abreast of their legal rights and responsibilities online. At RM Warner Law, our attorneys are well-versed in social media law. They can help with all your legal matters involving defamation, intellectual property, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) compliance, and more.

    Defamation Law | Social Media Law | RM Warner Law
    Defamation

    Defamation occurs when a person’s reputation is damaged by the spread of false information. There are two forms of defamation: libel and slander. Libel refers to written or illustrated defamatory statements, while slander is spoken communication.

    Our team understands that as an online content creator, your reputation is your business. We’ve seen that it can take a single incident for the public to no longer support certain brands, public figures, and influencers. If you are the victim of defamation or cyberbullying via social media, our social media defamation lawyers will help you restore your reputation and fight for any compensation you are entitled to as a result of damaging statements.

    Our defamation lawyers can also represent you if you find yourself on the defendant’s side of a defamation lawsuit.

    Influencer Marketing | Social Media Law | RM Warner Law
    Influencer Marketing (FTC Compliance)

    Do you receive compensation for promoting products or services online, or do you have material connections to brands you endorse? Then you need to be aware of the Federal Trade Commission rules for endorsements. The FTC regulations are in place to help protect consumers from misleading advertisements by requiring influencers to disclose whenever they receive financial gain from their endorsements.

    We will ensure you comply with all FTC requirements to help you avoid fines and defend you in any investigation into unfair and deceptive marketing.

    Intellectual Property | Social Media Law | RM Warner Law
    Intellectual Property

    If you produce original content online, it would be a good idea to explore copyright and trademark protections. Copyright and trademarks are legal protections that prevent someone from using work without consent from the author. Such protection covers all types of digital content, including social media posts, online articles and blogs, photos, graphic designs, and website content.

    Our social media lawyers will prove to be an invaluable resource, helping identify all your options for protecting your intellectual property. We can also help if you are facing a lawsuit for violating the intellectual property rights of others.
