Practice Areas

Chair of the firm’s Advertising and Marketing practice group, Donnelly McDowell focuses his practice on all aspects of advertising and consumer protection law. Donnelly understands how to thread the needle between advancing his clients’ business and marketing objectives and addressing the concerns of regulators and plaintiffs’ attorneys who could impede their efforts. Donnelly is particularly well-versed in several nuanced and specialized areas of consumer protection law, including consumer finance, food and drug law, and direct sales and network marketing compliance. Donnelly successfully represents clients in contested matters, including regulatory inquiries and investigations by the FTC, the CFPB, and the FDA, as well as State AGs and district attorneys. He also represents challengers and advertisers before the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the BBB National Programs and the National Advertising Review Board (NARB).
