PRACTICES

Consumer Protection

Our Consumer Protection Department advises on fair trade and consumer protection regulations including advertising, product labeling, product liability, e-commerce, sweepstakes, promotion activities, loyalty programs, recalls, and relationships and communication with consumers.

Our experts also represent clients in administrative and judicial litigation involving fair trade and consumer protection regulations. Clients rely on our team for advice and representation in connection with judicial appeals (before chambers of appeals) of complex decisions that impose large penalties for infringing regulations.

We are recognized for our leadership in major class actions. Working with our Litigation Department, we bring to bear our full-service strengths. We were pioneers in managing the first significant class action cases at the beginning of the century and are a market leader. Our team counsels and represents national and international clients in class action matters involving industries across banking, credit card services, insurance, food and pharmaceutical products, telecommunications and more.

Members of our consumer protection team have been recognized by Chambers Global and Chambers Latin America, The Legal 500, Latin Lawyer 250, ILASA and Who’s Who Legal, among others. Various members of our team have studied or worked abroad.
