False Advertising Litigation

False advertising disputes happen when a company’s marketing or promotional statements mislead consumers or unfairly damage a competitor. These issues may involve overblown product claims, confusing comparisons, inaccurate performance claims, or other statements that affect purchasing choices.

Leason Ellis acts for both plaintiffs and defendants in false advertising disputes under the Lanham Act and related state laws. Our litigators evaluate contested claims, analyze supporting evidence, and pursue or defend actions in federal court when advertising practices create competitive harm.

Our approach emphasizes reinforcing our clients’ competitive position through strategic, effective advocacy. Depending on the situation, this may involve seeking injunctive relief to halt misleading statements, pursuing damages, or defending companies accused of making improper claims. We also advise clients on advertising risks and assist in refining marketing practices to minimize the risk of future disputes.
