She has also negotiated several consent decrees with the FTC.
In addition, dietary supplement and health care companies seek Teddy’s assistance navigating the legal and business challenges associated with establishing direct-to-consumer sales channels, including, among other things, advertising compliance (including social media and customer or influencer testimonials), reviewing website terms and conditions, creating subscription models, and establishing return and recall policies and procedures.
