About Steph
Let’s negotiate for the money that you deserve.
Hello there! I’m Steph – a successful lawyer, brand deal consultant and negotiation guru. I am passionate about, and fully committed to helping influencers negotiate and land deals that pay influencers the money that they deserve.
About Advised by Steph
An influencer, frustrated with working for brands who didn’t want to pay her, finally had enough after feeling like a brand was taking advantage of her. The brand had given her an offer for her content that she didn’t think was enough and a contract that she didn’t understand. The influencer searched for help and answers from other influencers but she started to feel like she was way over her head. In the influencer’s search she came across a lawyer, Steph, who was familiar with contracts and offered to have a call with her.
In a few minutes, Steph was able to break down the agreement in simple terms to the influencer and the influencer realized the agreement was nothing like what she agreed to with the brand over email. It became clear that what the brand was requesting was definitely worth being paid a lot of money for. So grateful for the call, she told Steph how much the call meant to her.
From that interaction, Steph realized how influencers needed support. Steph started to learn how much work it took for influencers to create content and the value that influencers provided to brands despite not being paid. Steph became motivated to make a difference and Advised by Steph LLC was born.
EXPERIENCE
With a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Law Degree from Vanderbilt Law School, Steph practices law in California and Texas and learned the art of negotiation during her tenure reviewing contracts on behalf of companies at two top law firms in Silicon Valley.
MORE THAN A LAWYER
From Steph’s experience, she knows there is a lot of temptation and pressure to accept brand deals that provide products as payment and low ball offers, she’s been there! She is more than a lawyer, but she is also someone who understands the industry, and has helped influencers double and even triple their rates in brand deals by teaching them how to negotiate for more through their contracts regardless of how big the brand is or how scary it may feel to ask for more.
