Finnegan’s Advertising Talent Recognized in 2025 Chambers USA Rankings

Chambers & Associates released its Chambers USA Guide 2025, recognizing Finnegan in both national and regional jurisdictions of the 2025 edition of the Chambers USA guide. Jennifer Fried, Finnegan partner and leader of the firm’s advertising practice, was ranked in Advertising: NAD Proceedings. Partners Douglas Rettew, Danny Awdeh, and Virginia Carron, whose practices also include false advertising and other advertising issues, were also ranked.

As a highly particularized dispute resolution venue, the National Advertising Division (NAD) is best navigated by counsel with vast NAD experience. Jennifer is the former assistant director of the National Advertising Division and a long-time self-regulatory insider. She brings a uniquely informed perspective when challenging and defending advertising claims, counseling on compliance with consumer protection laws, and representing clients before NAD, the National Advertising Review Board, and federal and state regulatory bodies. Jennifer advises clients on best practices in the development of claim substantiation, including consumer research, in-home use tests, consumer preference surveys, technical product testing, clinical trials, ingredient-specific studies, and other claim support. Jennifer provides advertising guidance across a wide range of sectors, including consumer products, personal care, telecommunications, food and beverages, household appliances, clothing and shoes, over the counter drugs, dietary supplements, trade associations, and financial services.

Though well-versed in NAD proceedings, Finnegan has broad experience across all aspects of advertising law. A core aspect of the firm’s practice involves handling false advertising disputes against competitors. Whether those disputes are brought before the ad industry’s self-regulatory body, the courts, or hashed out in direct correspondence with competitors, Finnegan knows how to deliver excellent results. Another distinction is that our advertising practice is integrated with a top-tier, well-established trademark practice. Rather than bifurcating advertising and trademark review, we examine ad copy looking both at claim substantiation and IP issues. This holistic approach affords our clients a more efficient and seamless review.
