Withers Worldwide

Advertising opportunities and standards have changed markedly over recent years, especially with the growth of Internet businesses. Our intellectual property practice assists clients on all aspects of advertising, to ensure they remain in line with the law while maintaining maximum potential to reach new customers.

Our work ranges from guidance on advertising clearance to advice concerning complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) whether by or against our clients. We also provide practical advice in connection with marketing initiatives, including international e-mail campaigns.

The firm advises a number of well-known media personalities, and we have considerable experience in tackling the legal issues surrounding celebrity endorsement.
