Business & Professions Code Section 17200
Severson & Werson is unique among California law firms in having a practice group devoted to the defense of private and public civil actions brought under California’s unfair trade practices law, sometimes called California’s “Little FTC Act” (Business & Professions Code §17200), one of the most sweeping consumer protection laws in the nation. For more than three decades, Severson lawyers have tried and defended scores of companies against claims brought under that law.
Severson lawyers have handled appeals resulting in seminal
constructions of the meaning of this statute. And we have been
actively involved in the various attempts, legislative and judicial,
to reform the law.
In addition to consumer suits, and suits brought by law enforcement agencies, the firm has handled a number of competitor-vs.-competitor suits raising issues of trade secrets, customer lists, and the protection of intellectual property rights.
