She routinely counsels on claim substantiation, green advertising, dark patterns, endorsements and testimonials, deceptive pricing, recurring subscriptions, online disclosures, intellectual property (IP) rights, and other Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules and guidelines.

She also has experience representing clients before the National Advertising Division (NAD) to resolve advertising disputes.
