Content creators and educational technology (EdTech)
We work with bloggers, influencers, online schools and educational platforms. The key legal issues of the segment: contracts with platforms and advertisers, taxation of income from YouTube, Instagram and Patreon, protection of author courses from leaks, public offer agreements of online schools and registration of a personal brand as a trade mark.
Why PROCTOR
The creator economy has grown faster than its legal framework, and this is exactly where tax assessments, stolen courses and fake accounts appear. PROCTOR structures the monetisation of creators legally and in a tax efficient way, protects educational products from piracy and restores control over the personal brand.
We speak to creators in language they understand and give solutions that work in the reality of the platforms, not only in the text of a contract.

Practices for the industry
The teams of PROCTOR that run matters in this sector.
Corporate law and M&AThe flagship transactional practice: the legal foundation for owning, running and selling a business. It covers M&A deals, corporate structuring and the protection of owners' interests, together with adjacent areas - employment relations with staff and senior management, and the personal wealth matters of business owners (private clients).
Dispute resolution and enforcementThe full cycle of protecting a client's interests in a dispute: national courts of every jurisdiction and instance, international commercial and investment arbitration and, above all, turning a judgment won into money actually recovered.
Intellectual property and data protectionProtection of the intangible assets of a business: brands, technology, content and trade secrets - plus the lawfulness of personal data processing and legal readiness for cyber incidents. A natural pair for technology and consumer companies.
Tax practiceA standalone practice with the strongest lead generation potential: protecting a business from additional tax assessments, blocked tax invoices and pressure from the tax authorities, together with the lawful optimisation of the tax burden.
