Hosted by Lisa Simonetti and Greg Nylen, Greenberg Traurig’s California Unfair Competition Defense Podcast focuses on California’s broad, unique and powerful consumer protection statutes: the Unfair Competition Law; the False Advertising Law; and the Consumers Legal Remedies Act. Claims under these laws frequently are brought as putative class actions, and against companies in many different industries. Each episode addresses key principles under these laws, new developments and, most importantly, defense strategies.
