Perkins Coie Announces Consumer Protection Review Blog
Perkins Coie has launched Consumer Protection Review, a blog designed to help businesses that market and sell to consumers navigate federal and state legal issues related to advertising, privacy, promotions, products liability, government investigations, unfair competition, class actions and general consumer protection.
Written for traditional retailers, manufacturers, technology companies and other consumer-facing enterprises, the Consumer Protection Review highlights legal developments in unfair or deceptive business practices, product safety claims, data collection, brand protection and more.
According to a release from the firm, the primary authors of “Consumer Protection Review” (listed alphabetically) are:
Amanda Beane counsels and defends clients on matters related to consumer protection and unfair competition, as well as Americans with Disabilities Act, contract trade secret and other commercial matters.
Mark Goodrich advises clients on advertising compliance matters and helps brands navigate complex state, federal and local advertising, promotion and consumer protection laws.
Jason Howell counsels clients on marketing, advertising, brand and consumer protection, and regulatory compliance issues, such as advertising claims and substantiation, sale and discount advertising, marketing and sponsorship agreements, product development, contests and sweepstakes, endorsements and influencers, and promotional offers.
