The team of influencer lawyers at Influencer Counsel comes from various legal experiences, making our team more effective at advocating for clients and their needs.
Brand Name and Development
Digital Marketing
The whole purpose of NIL is to capitalize on who you are and what you are. Your NAME has value, and WHO you are and want to be is intriguing to the people who follow you on social media platforms. As a student athlete, your content is invaluable. Showing who you are and what you are is what advertisers are looking for. A company wants to invest in someone who represents their values. We can help you protect your brand and help arrange marketing resources.
Influencer and Brand Relations
Presenting your brand and maximizing value
As an influencer, you are in the spotlight and your name, and your brand is your most vital tool. Understanding the responsibilities and possibilities is critical in how you build your brand. There are legal protections and contracts that may be in consideration.
Legal and Compliance
The business of NIL creates complications to navigate
The Legal and Compliance pieces are tricky. The NCAA has set rules and there are liabilities when dealing with the general public.
Financial Literacy
The financial rewards and tax obligations of NIL can be complicated
We believe that each student-athlete should have a financial plan that includes strategies that may reduce their tax obligations. We are prepared to help each opportunity in a unique way.
This is accomplished by helping them understand the pros and cons of each financial decision.
Philanthropy and Community Service
The responsibility to serve others
“Giving back” to your community is essential in who you are as a human being. NIL is giving you a platform to not only showcase your abilities but to be an influence on your community as those who live in it.
Name, Image, and Likeness
As of July 1, 2021, all NCAA athletes will be able to profit from their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). One of the last dominos to fall in the players’ rights movement was the unanimous Supreme Court ruling that the NCAA cannot enforce certain rules regarding benefits that athletes can receive while in college. While this is refreshing news that is long overdue, it does not come without challenges and a legal landscape that will be changing minute-to-minute.
The best professional to help an athlete navigate this new world is an attorney, not an agent. Our attorneys are well-versed in negotiation and contract law. Not only do we write, edit, and review contracts, we litigate them. At Bitman, O’Brien & Morat, we provide NIL, Name Image Likeness, and legal services to high school, college, and Olympic athletes nationwide.
