Social Media Law

Social Media Law – legally compliant range, clear rules

Social media is one of the most important channels for communication, marketing, and sales today – but it is also a legal minefield. We ensure that you can protect your accounts and followers and leverage your range without falling into legal pitfalls.

As specialized lawyers focusing on social media law, we advise and support companies, agencies, influencers, and rights holders. We combine legal expertise with a deep understanding of the dynamics of digital platforms and the rules that apply there. We support you in your digital strategy by creating legal certainty for your own presence, while at the same time consistently enforcing your rights both in and out of court, for example in cases of unauthorized use of your content or attacks on your reputation.
