Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP announced today that Legal 500 United States 2017’s ranking of leading law firms and attorneys has named the firm as leading in Advertising and Marketing. Four of the practice’s partners have also been recognized as key individuals in Advertising and Marketing law: Andrew Lustigman (chair), Kyle Bisceglie, and Scott Shaffer.
“We are thrilled to have been acknowledged again this year by Legal 500 as leading lawyers in Advertising and Marketing,” said Lustigman, chair of Olshan’s Advertising, Marketing & Promotions practice. “Our clients come to us with unique and challenging issues, and our talented team of lawyers consistently delivers sophisticated and innovative solutions.

Legal 500 noted that Olshan “specializes in sweepstakes, advertising clearances, regulatory investigations, direct marketing law, NAD matters and mobile marketing” and that “Litigation is also key for the team.” Legal 500 noted Lustigman and Bisceglie’s high-profile defense of Havas Worldwide and its client TD Ameritrade in a lawsuit brought by Lions Gate Entertainment involving the phrase ‘Don’t Put Your Old 401(k) in the Corner’ in its advertising, a line similar to that used in the film Dirty Dancing.
