A Law Firm and a Sweepstakes Administrator?
If you are considering an online sweepstakes, social media promotion, or contest you may be wondering whether to use a promotion administrator, a law firm, or both. The answer will depend on the services you need and your current in-house resources.

We realize this area of law is state specific and complex. When you retain an attorney from the Advertising, Marketing & Promotions group, we can partner with you to help you service your clients with the most up-to-date legal information available.
Promotion administrators can conduct a sweepstakes or a contest. If you do not have those capabilities in-house, a promotion administrator may be a valuable member of your promotions team. But it takes a sweepstakes lawyer to ensure that your promotion does not run afoul of state laws and federal advertising regulations, as well as the requirements of the medium you have chosen. The social media rules and guidelines are always changing, and we understand how to make sure your promotion is properly structured.
