Products Counseling

Your cutting-edge products and services are connected and cross-disciplinary—and increasingly affected by novel regulatory and policy issues. Your legal team should be as well versed in your products as you are, with full knowledge of potential legal traps you may face traversing today's regulatory landscape. We boast precisely this mix. Our experienced team of lawyers has the cross-disciplinary skills needed to address your thorniest problems—and even spot the ones you didn't know you had.

We assist companies with consumer and enterprise product launches domestically and abroad, navigating a host of legal hurdles that arise because new products present novel legal questions for your business, including those related to consumer protection, privacy and security, intellectual property, company structure and formation, regulatory licensing and compliance, product labeling and packaging, product liability, and import-export laws. We regularly help clients craft strategies to reduce regulatory risk and/or licensing obligations to the extent possible.

We help companies interface with regulators in many ways:

Ensuring compliance with existing regulations
Advocating before regulators about novel issues raised by cutting-edge products
Monitoring regulatory proceedings and filing comments on proposed regulations
Defending clients in regulatory investigations and audits

We represent the tech industry in the full gamut of litigation. In addition to our other litigation practices, we specifically help clients challenge or defend new state and federal regulations, litigate the meaning of those regulations, and defend clients in federal and state regulatory enforcement proceedings before agencies and in court.

Your agreements should reflect not only your business but also your regulatory strategy. We are highly experienced in structuring agreements with partners and end user terms to reinforce clients' regulatory strategies. We draw on our experience across many regulated and highly regulated industries to find practical approaches for novel technologies that may not neatly fit in traditional regulatory boxes.

We work with our clients daily to maximize the business value of data in a complex regulatory environment while minimizing information risk across the product and customer relationship lifecycle.

We tailor our advice to each client by developing data privacy and security strategies that streamlines disparate compliance obligations. Through hardening systems, we help clients prevent or mitigate cyberattack.
