Advertising and Brand Protection
Overview
Advertising is essential for your business. It is also one of the largest sources of risk you face. Everyone is watching: consumers, competitors, regulators, and class action lawyers. Take too conservative a path and nobody will pay attention to your ads. Step over the line, and you may attract unwanted attention that could embroil your company in a costly investigation or litigation – not to mention possible reputational damage. The most successful businesses chart a path of maximum impact, investing in advertising claims that truly differentiate them, while successfully managing legal risk.
The group consistently provides thoughtful and practical legal guidance.

Section 230 Reform: What Websites Need to Know Now
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 has been credited with “creating” the internet by immunizing websites and platforms from lawsuits arising from the content posted by third-party users. Specifically, an internet company is not liable for publishing or posting content drafted by another person under conventional common law tort theories such as defamation or slander, however loathsome, violent or otherwise hateful that content is. At the same time, Section 230 also immunizes a website or platform that engages in good-faith moderation of content it deems to violate its terms of use/conditions or community standards.
