A Lawyer That Understands

The Dynamics Of The Advertising & Marketing Landscape


Advertising is a critical component of any business’s broader marketing efforts, and by extension, marketing is the crucial variable for whether a business will succeed or fail. That said, even after putting significant effort into formulating and expending resources in implementing a winning marketing strategy, businesses of all types and sectors are increasingly at risk in the context of advertising and marketing law compliance. Further, service providers in the marketing sector, such as advertising agencies, can be subject to legal risk of liability by extension of their services. Compounding the challenge is the increasingly competitive landscape for digitally native brands looking to gain or defend market share while navigating an incredibly dynamic advertising and marketing law environment, ranging from privacy and data protection to enforcement actions alleging deceptive advertising as well as class-action type litigation.

RICHT has marketing and advertising at its foundation, with the firm’s founder coming from the advertising agency world. We aim to provide clients with pragmatic advertising law counsel that helps them not only achieve their goals for growth but exceed them. Unlike other law firms, we understand the dynamics and realities of marketing and advertising. The result is a limited, if any, “learning curve” and more seamless and valuable advice that accounts for business realities. Whether you are a brand or marketing agency utilizing data-driven targeted advertising and seeking to comply with corresponding privacy law considerations, trying to navigate trademark and claim substantiation, or some other matter, we are advertising and marketing compliance lawyers operating at the frontier and bring unique value and a proactive approach aimed at helping your business reach new heights.
