“My goal is to encourage social media influencers to recognize that they are not just content creators, but businesses in their own right. In the entertainment industry, performers are taught from the beginning that a skilled attorney is essential to supporting their endeavors. Adopting this mentality as an influencer will set you up for long-term success in building a sustainable brand — and Schmidt Law is dedicated to safeguarding its future.”
