Affiliate Marketing
Need an affiliate marketing lawyer to help with FTC compliance, affiliate agreements, business formation, taxes, and more? You came to the right place!
Affiliate marketing can be immensely profitable, but it’s also rife with legal risk if you don’t have an experienced affiliate marketing attorney by your side. Gordon Law Group has more than 10 years of experience advising affiliate marketers, advertisers, and affiliate networks.
Unbeatable Affiliate Marketing Experience
For more than 10 years, we’ve helped cutting-edge affiliate marketers, advertisers, and networks stay ahead of the FTC.
We have several FTC victories under our belts, including an asset freeze reversal—a nearly unheard-of result.
We understand that in order to succeed as an affiliate marketer or influencer, you need to move fast and embrace new technologies—but an FTC lawsuit can tank your business faster than you can say “ROAS.”
We help you remain compliant with advertising laws and avoid legal pitfalls, without slowing you down.
These are just a few of the affiliate marketing laws you need to be aware of:
- Section 5 of the FTC Act
- CAN-SPAM Act
- Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA)
- Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
- California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
- The Lanham Act (Trademark Act of 1946)
- Dot-com Disclosures

The terms of service and privacy policy for your website can offer protection in the unfortunate event of legal disputes. As digital privacy becomes increasingly important (and increasingly regulated), neglecting these documents could leave you vulnerable to lawsuits.

If you’re advertising any cryptocurrency projects, NFTs, or dApps, you need to be extra careful with advertising and marketing compliance.

In addition, if your business accepts cryptocurrency payments, we can provide full-service crypto accounting and tax services.
