Advertising and Brand Protection
Overview
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.
The group consistently provides thoughtful and practical legal guidance.
