Legally Influenced 101

The Fashion Law Edit presents ‘Legally Influenced 101’ – the panel discussion and networking event for influencers and content creators who want to take control of their business with the legal know-how!

With so many people falling into the world of influencing and content creating, this comes with business and legal issues that can make a difference to the success of an influencer/content creator. Questions that arise within this world include:

• How do I legally protect myself and brand?
• What terms and conditions do I need to include in a contract?
• How does intellectual property come into play?
• How can lawyers help influencers/content creators?
• Where do I go to for legal resources and advice?
• How do I stay compliant with GDPR rules?

We’ve created this event to answer these questions and so much more! We have a diverse panel of speakers within the legal and influencer/content creation industries who will share their experiences and knowledge. After the panel discussion and Q&A segments, network over a selection of canapes, vendors, and a bar to keep the conversations going.

Host:

• Blessing Mukosha

Documenting her bar course journey via the BLESSING AT THE BAR blog and a YouTube series with Law Careers.Net, Blessing made her mark by redefining the creative boundaries of the legal landscape. Passionate about sharing this knowledge with others she has since written a wealth of articles, featured in a radio 4 documentary, and spoken publicly on the challenges of navigating the bar as a Black woman.
