#207 – Marketing Legally with Robert Freund: Insights on Social Media Advertising and E-Commerce

If you have an e-commerce store, are a social media influencer, own your own brand or are thinking about starting a business, then you’re not going to want to miss this week’s episode of The Alden Report where I am joined by attorney Robert Freund. Along with very informative and engaging social media content, Robert is an experienced business litigator and advisor who focuses his practice on advertising compliance and litigation, with an emphasis on e-commerce and social media marketing issues.  His clients primarily are direct-to-consumer brands, marketing agencies, and individual creators.

Before opening his own firm, Mr. Freund honed his legal skills working at Greenberg Traurig, LLP, one of the largest and most respected international law firms.  Mr. Freund has represented individuals and companies in complex commercial litigation, including consumer class actions and claims related to false advertising and unfair competition.  He also has represented clients in the entertainment, real estate, and financial services industries.

While in law school at UC Davis, Mr. Freund clerked for the Consumer Protection Unit of the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where he worked on civil and criminal cases involving fraud, deceptive advertising, anticompetitive practices, and other economic crimes.  Mr. Freund also served as an editor of the UC Davis Law Review.

Mr. Freund has lectured about social media advertising law at the University of Southern California, the University of San Diego, the Fashion Institute of Technology, and the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems, and he has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg Law, Vox, Business Insider, and Forbes on those issues.

Thank you very much to Robert for joining me on The Alden Report.
