Our attorneys provide counseling to many clients in the United States with respect to advertising, privacy, and consumer protection issues. We advise clients in connection with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorney general investigations, including inquiries relating to the marketing of domain name services, the marketing and selling of weight loss products and dietary supplements, the marketing of violent entertainment and food to children, and Fair Debt Collection Practices. We have negotiated consent orders with the FTC, as well as represented clients in federal litigation with the FTC in connection with the enforcement of those orders. We also advise clients with respect to specific FTC rules and state marketing laws, including Made in U.S.A. claims, environmental claims, telemarketing, mobile and other newer forms of marketing, sweepstakes, promotions, gift cards, and pricing claims.
The firm's consumer protection attorneys handle all types of related private litigation cases from consumer fraud class action matters to competitor Lanham Act claims, as well as self-regulatory challenges before the National Advertising Division.
Our consumer protection and marketing experience extends internationally, and attorneys in our European practice advise on regulatory issues arising under EU law in relation to specific industry sections, including food, pharmaceuticals, financial services, tobacco, chemicals, and other consumer products.
