Renée’s work spans two sides of the spectrum: the proactive and reactive. She works with companies of all sizes on the development of lawful products and marketing tactics, while also assisting clients who are subject to litigation or government enforcement actions. Her practice focuses on advertising and marketing, personal care and cosmetics products, consumer protection matters, and general regulatory compliance. Renée has a knack for problem-solving, which begins with asking the right questions of her clients, interpreting the rules and regulations that apply to her clients’ situations, and devising expedited resolutions.
Renée serves as litigation counsel to an industry trade association in the personal care products space. She also defends companies in enforcement matters brought by federal and state regulatory agencies and in litigation concerning product safety, labeling, packaging, and claim substantiation. She has handled all aspects of complex litigation, including fact and expert discovery, depositions, motions practice, hearings, and trial proceedings. Renée also regularly counsels cosmetics, skincare, and dietary supplement companies on labeling, consumer marketing, and risk management to avoid litigation and enforcement actions. This ensures adherence to rules and regulations enforced by the Food and Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission.
