Today, we're fortunate enough to be in conversation with Rob, a seasoned attorney with wide-ranging expertise, particularly in the e-commerce sector and consumer law.

Our aim today is to delve into the intricate workings of law in e-commerce, understanding how to promote change, and the repercussions of these laws on consumers. We'll tackle some of the most common consumer issues related to subscriptions, discounts, publicity rights, and more. Rob will also be sharing insights drawn from his robust legal experience in cases featuring allegations of misleading advertising and the implications of such lawsuits.
So, as we navigate these complex but necessary aspects of the e-commerce world, let's ponder on state, federal, and potential Supreme Court intervention, and how brands and illustrations of advanced technology like AI fit into the legal schema. Stay tuned!
