About Ethan

Ethan founded the social media law firm to provide solutions to social media legal issues to businesses and start ups.

 

In many respects, Ethan’s legal and educational careers have paralleled the explosive growth and development of Facebook, Twitter and other social media. For the last eight years, he worked as social media law attorney, author, professor, consultant, and keynote speaker. Recognizing the need for rules of the road as social media expanded and became more entrenched in the world, Ethan serves as an advisor to leaders in both the legal and business communities as they seek to implement practical and ethical guidelines in their workplaces. According to Chambers USA, an international guide that ranks law firms and attorneys, Ethan “has developed legal skills and knowledge that exceed his years of practice.”

    Review Ethan Wall

    Working with Ethan was an absolute pleasure!

    Posted by

    Working with Ethan was an absolute pleasure. He helped me file my trademark application very very quickly and explained everything throughout the process. He let me know exactly what to expect going forward in a way that was informative but not unnecessarily or overly technical. His combination of legal expertise and personality is a winning combination and I would work with him again on this type of project or any other legal matters without question.

    The best trademark attorney!

    Posted by

    Ethan was extraordinary to work with. Not only is he so knowledgeable of the law in this area, he kept us updated throughout the entire process. In the beginning, he did a great job of educating us on the law and procedure and put it all in terms we can easily understand. I would absolutely hire him again and have already recommended him to everyone I know who was in need of trademark work.

    A leader in his field

    Posted by

    I have worked with Ethan on a variety of different projects so far and he is always excellent. He is extremely professional, yet down to earth, and always provides detailed information / advice in an easy to understand manner. Most prominently, he is on the leading edge of social media related issues. I have consulted with him on a few occasions with regards to intellectual property specifically related to internet and social media usage. He has provided excellent, up to date information on how existing laws would translate within these new arenas. Overall I am extremely satisfied and would recommend Ethan without reservation.

    Impossible to find a more knowledgable, personable, forthright, and efficient lawyer.

    Posted by

    Working with Ethan has changed my concept of what a lawyer can do. More than simple legal consul, Ethan is there to answer any questions regarding the full scope of my legal needs at anytime, and provides a stable, affable base of knowledge and advice along with it. Simply put, he isn't just a lawyer, he's a teacher: leaving his clients better informed and armed with knowledge to be better equipped to take on the complex legal challenges they face.
