RENO, NEVADA / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / On social media, where an Instagram post can command thousands of dollars, the line between genuine endorsement and paid advertisement is increasingly blurred. With more influencers partnering with brands than ever before, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) will be keeping a close eye on compliance.
The path to influencer success is built not just on visually appealing content and trending hashtags, but by staying informed about the legalities of paid influencing and ensuring compliance with strict disclosure policies.
Influencer legal needs may include:
Extensive and complex FTC endorsement guides that go over disclosure requirements
Contract review and negotiation of terms for sponsorships
Risk management to avoid FTC repercussions
Brand legal needs may include:
Developing clear and consistent disclosure policies within the brand
Educating partnering influencers on brand disclosure requirements
Managing the risk and liability of influencer partnerships
Both influencers and brands may need legal representation for response to FTC inquiries and possible court appearances.
"Brands partnering with influencers, and vice versa, is a very lucrative business move, but strict FTC requirements can be easily overlooked and cause an expensive legal mistake," says Ken LaMance, LegalMatch's General Counsel.
