From client work to calls to lunch at my desk, what I’m building here at Kayla Moran Law is exciting but the process is anything but…

Entrepreneurship is often over glamorized but the real magic is in the parts no one wants to do. The admin, the contracts, the relationship building, the mechanics of it all.

Kayla Moran Law is 3.5 now so it’s time to invest further into these things to help me achieve my goals of supporting creators and creative entrepreneurs as the build, scale and protect their brands.

It’s even more important to invest in as I focus on making this firm a boutique firm that is more than just me () because that’s not sustainable.

I hope I have more exciting days like when I spoke at Pickle to show you soon, but for now this is my day to day. It will be so worth it!!

The biggest risks in a contract are rarely the obvious ones. They’re hidden in the details: usage rights, exclusivity, payment terms, termination clauses, and ownership of your content.

Before you sign, make sure you understand exactly what you’re agreeing to, how long it lasts, and what rights you’re giving away.

A few extra minutes reviewing your agreement can save you months (or years) of problems later.

A few weeks ago I spoke on a creator economy panel alongside some incredible industry insiders Priscilla Hardie and Melissa Konstantas. Thank you again to Julia O’Mara, Co-Founder of one of my fave apps/brands!

As part of Pickle’s panel series, we talked all about the creator economy from the legal, creator and brand/agency side perspective. From misconceptions to risks and how to better protect yourself, we went there and the reception from the creators in the room was incredible.

I talked about how each side of an influencer deal can understand the other better and what creators need to look out for in their agreements, mutual alignment and relationship building.

Here are some of my key takeways:

+ Brands need to understand that the leverage is shifting. Creators are not just content vendors anymore. They’re not just the cheaper alternative to multi-million dollar productions. They are business owners with IP, audience relationships, and their own brands to protect... and the contracts being put in front of them often don’t reflect that. So they will push back and they have every right to.

If you’re a brand or agency working with creators in 2026, the conversation has shifted. Creators are asking better questions, hiring lawyers, and walking away from deals that don’t protect them.

That’s not a threat. That’s the market maturing.

+ Creators need to view themselves as a business if they want longevity in this industry. There is a lot more money available now BUT there’s also a lot more creators out there. Everyone is vying for the same thing. So how do you set yourself apart?

In how you position yourself, the value you add (not just followers or conversions) and what your goals are.

The proper team members around you support this. Agents and managers, sure, but lawyers, accountants, PR, assistants, strategic partners as you evolve from content creator to media empire - podcast host, author, brand founder etc.

The creators thinking bigger and asking for more, those are the creators who win. Don’t just accept every deal that comes in, exposure is expensive in the long run.

Most creators are told to look for key words and just remove them… but negotiation takes a little more than that

The real red flags in your contract usually show up in the details you don’t fully question. Let’s unpack what other clauses are important to look at and why:

+ Usage rights
These clauses include everything from the license to how the content can be cut up for ads

Be mindful when they’re broadly drafted because they control how your content can be used long after the deal ends. You can and should negotiate them!

+ Exclusivity
This clause, alongside blackout dates and posting restrictions which are becoming more popular, quietly limit who you’re allowed to work with, and when

Even if and especially if it’s not clearly defined

+ Payment terms
These decide when and how you actually get paid, which is where a lot of issues come up between manger and talent or if a brand fails to pay on time

Creators who treat content like a business, please track your invoicing and understand when and how you’re making money

+ Termination and/or Cancellation
This clause determines how easily either side can walk away, and whether you’re still expected to deliver or if the content can be used after the term ends

Look out for refunds and ask for a pro rata share

+ Indemnification
This important clause shifts legal responsibility, and sometimes requires you to pay attorneys fees and damages when paired with a limitation of liability clause

Most creators don’t realize how much risk they’re agreeing to so read carefully (and read the reps and warranties too)

+ Governing law, jurisdiction and venue
This clause(s) decides where and how disputes are handled, which can make a big difference if something goes wrong

If you’re only reviewing the surface, you’re missing where contracts actually impact you

If you want to make sure your agreements are protecting you, not just the brand, schedule a call and let’s go through it before your next deal!
