Consumer Issues
Overview
Advertising Clearance and Compliance
We work with retailers to balance the realities of advertising and sales with the restrictions imposed by statutes and regulation of marketing and advertising laws. Our attorneys are able to develop alongside the retailer all forms and aspects of effective promotion, direct marketing and sweepstakes to grow a business. Should the need arise, we are also skilled and have developed relationships with various state district attorneys and attorneys general to allow for the successful resolution of consumer protection investigations on a national level.
Consumer Law Defense
When consumers turn on the companies who were providing services, and retailers are faced with claims such as deceptive trade practices, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Business Practices Act, we have the depth and breadth to represent companies across the United States and of all sizes. From small service providers to large debt collection companies, we have assisted our clients in providing advice and guidance when dealing with a wide range of consumer law statutory claims.
