Consumer Law Litigation & Government Investigations

Overview

Our consumer law litigation attorneys assist clients in mitigating legal risk and represent them in state and federal government investigations, including investigations by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general. We work with clients to understand how they market to customers, identify applicable state and federal laws, and provide guidance and training to correct or improve practices that pose undue risk before enforcers come calling and lawsuits are filed.

We also work closely with clients to ensure their consumer contracts protect them from unfair or unfounded lawsuits. Our team has defended clients across the country against individual and class action lawsuits asserting claims under a variety of consumer protection statutes. We have also crafted and enforced arbitration clauses with class action waivers and defeated motions for class certification, eliminating the risk of large claims for class damages.
