Social Media, Influencer & Digital Platform Law

The modern creator economy extends far beyond influencers. It includes podcasters, digital creators, content studios, media startups, event companies, talent agencies, and brand-led media ventures. At Oberoi & Partners, we advise clients operating across this ecosystem on the legal, regulatory, and commercial issues unique to digital-first content and platforms.

Our practice focuses on influencer and creator contracts, podcast legal structuring, advertising compliance, platform disputes, content protection, and digital brand enforcement. We help clients protect their names, formats, and intellectual property before they go live, structure compliant monetisation models, and respond decisively to disputes with brands, platforms, or third parties.

Our advice is practical, platform-aware, and business-oriented—designed to support scale without compromising creative freedom.
