Regulatory Investigations

Regulatory investigations are stressful and more significantly, they take up valuable time that should be devoted to current and future projects. While it is always better to avoid the conditions that give rise to regulatory investigations, it's not always possible for an advertiser or marketer to foresee all the reasons that a regulator may raise a complaint.

At The Lustigman Firm, we help advertising, marketing, and promotions clients in three ways:

  1. We proactively provide advertising clearance and promotions legal review (this is especially important for clients on the cutting edge of direct marketing efforts, or those making health or environmental claims).
  2. We represent clients in regulatory investigations before federal agencies such as the FTC, USPS, FDA, and CSPC, and state agencies and attorneys general.
  3. We defend clients in regulatory litigation.

Our advertising lawyers are experienced legal advocates, aggressively yet creatively representing clients' interests in regulatory investigation in advertising and marketing, sweepstakes, and promotions law. When you need creative solutions to legal challenges, contact The Lustigman Firm to speak directly to an experienced regulatory defense attorney. We represent clients in New York, New Jersey, throughout the United States, and in Canada.

Regulatory Investigations

We work closely with clients to analyze their situation, to develop strategies that address existing problems, and create policies that help ensure future compliance in the future. Allow us to represent you in regulatory investigations for legal matters such as:

  • Allegations of false claims, unfair or deceptive practices, or violations of privacy laws and data practices laws before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
  • Allegations of false advertising or violation of postal requirements before the United States Postal Service (USPS) Administrative Judicial System
  • Allegations of false advertising, failure to substantiate claims, labeling violations, misbranding or adulteration before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  • Allegations of false or deceptive marketing activities (including slamming and cramming allegations) before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), state public utility commissions or Public Service Commissions
  • Product recalls by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
  • Allegations of unfair business practices, false advertising, and violations of local and state business regulations and privacy laws before state attorneys general (California, in particular, is very active in investigations) and county district attorneys

If you have received a civil investigative demand or subpoena by a government entity to investigate your company's business practices or advertising practices, contact the regulatory defense attorneys at (212) 683-9180 of The Lustigman Firm.

Whenever possible, we work to resolve government concerns outside of litigation, but if we are unable to do so, our firm is fully prepared to take your case to trial. We frequently defend FTC actions and are prepared to take your case to trial or through hearing on injunctions. Our skilled and experienced defense attorneys are ready to help you.
