MOHAN NADIG
Director of Legal – US
ByteDance
Mohan Nadig is a director of legal – US at ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok and one of the most popular and highly valued tech companies in the world. Serving as a trusted leader on cutting-edge legal issues – including Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, social media influencers and creators, and “ad tech” – makes him a true leader in law.
Nadig has the added distinction of being an in-house leader focused on supporting revenue generation and user growth at his companies. At ByteDance, he leads the team of lawyers supporting the monetization initiatives of the company, including rolling out new and different product features for creators, advertisers, and brands. He oversees a wide range of matters, from commercial contracts with digital advertisers, to review of ad technology products, to the establishment of a first-of-its-kind Creator Marketplace. And Nadig has built an experienced and diverse group of professionals in LA, NY, and Toronto during an unprecedented health crisis, almost entirely virtually. His team is responsible for advising on cutting-edge legal issues at a company experiencing historic growth and a wide range of external challenges.
As a thought leader on technology law, Nadig also teaches a course entitled “Counseling the Startup Company” at the USC Gould School of Law. He frequently speaks at technology conferences, and recently presented cutting-edge topics at the 2019 All Hands Meeting of general counsels at technology companies and the 2021 Marketplace Risk Conference, the leading conference for online platforms and marketplaces.
