Advertising is essential for your business. It is also one of the largest sources of risk you face. Everyone is watching: consumers, competitors, regulators, and class action lawyers. Take too conservative a path and nobody will pay attention to your ads. Step over the line, and you may attract unwanted attention that could embroil your company in a costly investigation or litigation – not to mention possible reputational damage. The most successful businesses chart a path of maximum impact, investing in advertising claims
that truly differentiate them, while successfully managing legal risk.
Whether your company’s goal is to manage and protect its brands and IP rights or to successfully resolve an FTC investigation, litigation, or NAD challenge (or avoid a dispute altogether), our attorneys can help. Prominent brands turn to our team to resolve their most challenging disputes, advise them on regulatory risks, and to help structure significant advertising matters and transactions.
