   I provide legal opinions and advice to a wide range of companies regarding the antitrust implications of product distribution agreements, joint ventures, other contractual arrangements, membership requirements for organizations, and mergers and acquisitions. I am seasoned in providing legal opinions and advice to food, beverage, and consumer product companies regarding existing or proposed advertising materials, including product packaging and labeling and distribution materials. I also analyze social media and website content as part of due diligence in transactions. I have also helped clients navigate First Amendment, Texas Citizens Participation Act (anti-SLAPP), and Defamation Mitigation Act issues related to advertising, social media, business and consumer disputes, and news publications.
