Advertising and Marketing

Advertising, Marketing & Promotions Practice  

Our Advertising, Marketing & Promotions Practice Group helps clients navigate, prosecute, and defend against advertising, marketing, and unfair competition claims that often strike at the heart of their business strategy. We are experienced, effective litigators who protect our clients’ advertising and branding interests in and out of the courtroom. Whether it’s halting a competitor’s false advertising, defending a campaign under scrutiny during a pivotal business season, or responding to regulatory action, we have a strong track record of success nationwide—at the preliminary stage, trial, and on appeal.

Advertising disputes often demand swift legal action, especially around major campaign launches. Our team is highly experienced in seeking and defending against temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions to meet clients’ urgent business needs. We also have extensive experience handling challenges before the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, both offensively and defensively.

Beyond litigation, we regularly counsel clients on developing compliant and competitive advertising, marketing, data, and privacy programs. We review advertising copy and promotions, and advise on agreements with vendors across the advertising ecosystem.

Carnegie Sterns offers integrated, full-service support across copyright, trademark, internet and social media, and false advertising matters. For more details, see our Copyright, Trademark, Internet & Advertising (CTIA) brochure.
