What sets CSR PromoLaw apart?

Diverse Expertise

CSR PromoLaw LLP lawyers offer a wide range of talent and experience in the promotion marketing arena. Attorneys with the firm have a variety of legal backgrounds, including pharmaceuticals, alcohol beverages and other highly regulated industries (tobacco, dairy, gasoline, financial services), trademark and intellectual property law, litigation, as well as an extensive understanding of the Internet, social media, wireless/mobile phone technology and the design of Internet, social media and text messaging sweepstakes, contests and other promotions.

Fingers on the Pulse of a Dynamic Industry

Guidelines, laws and regulations affecting promotion marketing activities are dynamic. Change, especially that from enforcement activity, is constant at both the state and federal levels. The growth of promotions on the Internet and social media (for example sweepstakes or contests requesting user generated content, mobile programs, and Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other online platforms) has created an increased awareness of intellectual property, jurisdictional and international privacy and data collection issues. We stay abreast of the regulatory climate, enforcement practices and activities, and revisions of laws and regulations related to our areas of promotion law concentration.
