Consumer Products & Retail
Overview
When it comes to navigating the modern marketplace, our team stands by businesses to handle the legal complexities that arise when products and services meet the public. Today’s consumer-facing companies face a wide-variety of compliance challenges and litigation risks associated with consumer privacy, pricing, marketing/advertising, and product liability concerns. Our team will help you stay on top of the constantly evolving landscape of federal and state laws, regulations, and court decisions. If necessary, we have experienced litigators located across the country equipped to handle litigation threats, government investigations, single plaintiff lawsuits, class actions, single consumer or mass arbitration proceedings, multi-district litigation, product liability litigation and other types of complex disputes. Our litigation teams manage threats and protect your company’s reputation.
When it comes to advertising and branding, we advise clients on matters ranging from influencer agreements and FTC endorsement rules to food ingredient claims and digital coupons. We help ensure that your sweepstakes, promotions, and ads hit the mark without crossing regulatory lines. Additionally, we handle the technical details of creative assets, working with business teams to secure the necessary permissions for fonts, images, and other protected elements so your marketing remains yours. We also provide guidance on private label manufacturing and the unique liabilities of selling through massive online marketplaces. By focusing on the direct realities of production and sales, we provide the clarity you need to grow your consumer base with confidence.
