Thoughts on the rise in internet/IG lawyers?I’m seeing a lot of attorneys charge flat fee for contracts & agreements for anyone in any state or country. It seems like a great business idea that but I’m trying to figure out how they do it. I’m very concerned about practicing in another state since the client would live in another state, as well as, missing an important state nuance since I don’t practice in that state and know the lay of the land.

Say you’re in New York or CA, can’t you just draft these agreements with that as governing law? It’s a major market, and most tech companies as well as influencer contracts should be okay with it. Similarly, you could use Delaware too.

Im a trademark lawyer and I’m pretty active on IG. There are a lot of us on there. To be on the safe side, you’ll want to work only with clients in your state on contract matters, but the grey area lies in federal intellectual property law as it relates to contracts (copyright/trademark licensing, assignments, etc.) Trademark law is federal law so that’s why you see many of these lawyers working with clients across the country.

Also, look into each state’s UPL laws. Some jurisdictions allow for drafting of contracts for “use in the ordinary course of business” by those not licensed in the state.

I haven’t seen these — ANY country? That seems like malpractice/unlicensed practice of law. I feel more comfortable about corporate work across state borders though.

Second that.

That’s definitely the practice of law in states where they aren’t licensed.
