Digital Marketing

Knowledge Pioneers Law Firm‘s digital marketing team assists clients in investigating, prosecuting, and defending against advertising, marketing, and unfair competition claims that often go to the core of their business strategies. We are skilled and effective courtroom advocates who protect our clients’ advertisements and brands. Whether it is stopping a competitor from making false and misleading advertising claims, fending off a challenge to our client’s advertising campaign during a critical business season, or defending against agency actions, we have an impressive track record of courtroom victories in important advertising cases across the country — at the preliminary stage, at trial, and on appeal. Advertising issues often require expedited action at crucial times, such as right before the launch of a major advertising campaign. Our attorneys have significant experience and success in seeking and defending against preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders to meet our clients’ business needs at critical times. In addition, we have extensive experience in both bringing and defending challenges before national authorities.

Complementing our litigation experience, we counsel clients in connection with their advertising, marketing, data, and privacy programs to ensure such programs comply with the relevant laws, Sharia rules, and regulations and avoid competitive challenges. Our attorneys also review all types of advertising copy and promotions and counsel clients on all types of agreements with vendors of advertising-related products and services.

We also draft and review for our clients a full range of Internet-related contracts, including website development, Internet advertising, co-branding and banner ad, co-sponsorship, and hyperlinking agreements, as well as all types of e-contracts, smart contracts associating with e-commerce.
