Advertising Law Attorneys in NYC
Cutting Edge, Not Overboard
The advertising law attorneys at Olshan provide legal counsel that gives our clients peace of mind as they pursue creative and innovative advertising campaigns to distinguish themselves and their products in a competitive marketplace.
Our clients, many of the country's leading niche advertising agencies and promotional companies, face considerable legal risk in their day-to-day operations. Did you know the Federal Trade Commission holds ad agencies liable for advertising they create? If an FTC investigation finds there is an insufficient basis for an advertising claim, the agency may find itself facing FTC litigation for false or unsubstantiated claims.
At Olshan, we work with ad agencies, in-house and outside legal counsel, entrepreneurs, and small to medium-sized business owners to help protect the company from reaching that stage.
When you work with the Advertising, Marketing & Promotions Group, you can feel confident with respect to the legal aspects of your media advertising campaign, promotional sweepstakes or contest, direct mail marketing campaign, and telemarketing campaign.
Put our resourceful legal team to work with your creative team. Contact Olshan. Let's see what we can accomplish, together. We provide a wide range of services, including:
