WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading regulatory and litigation law firm Amin Talati Upadhye has announced the opening of its Washington, D.C. Office, led by the firm’s new Partner, Ivan Wasserman.

Focused on the industries of food and beverages, nutritional supplements, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, Amin Talati Upadhye provides full legal services for the lifecycle of products aimed at improving the population’s health and wellness.

“Our work with numerous regulatory agencies governing the food and drug industries makes it imperative that we maintain a daily presence in the nation’s capital,” said Rakesh Amin, a founding partner. “I can think of no better partner than Ivan Wasserman to lead Amin Talati Upadhye’s new office in the District of Columbia. Ivan has years of experience representing manufacturers, direct-to-consumer marketers and retail chains in matters ranging from product development, to advertising and labeling, to government investigations and product recalls.”

Frequently quoted by the media on FDA, advertising, and product safety issues, Mr. Wasserman helps clients develop products and create advertising campaigns that comply with the regulations and meet marketing objectives, paying close attention to the changing rules governing internet marketing, consumer testimonials and social media. He advocates for clients subject to the often overlapping jurisdictions of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). When advertising disputes arise, he regularly represents companies before the National Advertising Division (NAD) and the Electronic Retailing Self-Regulation Program (ERSP). Mr. Wasserman has been named one of the Best Lawyers in America for Advertising Law from 2007 to 2017.

“Amin Talati Upadhye’s focus on advising companies developing products for health, wellness and beauty, including its sophisticated food safety and intellectual property capabilities, perfectly dovetails with the practice I have built over the years,” said Mr. Wasserman. “I am thrilled to be a part of this vibrant new presence here in Washington, D.C.’s regulatory community.”

This latest expansion continues the growth that started three years ago when Amin Talati welcomed Shashank Upadhye as partner, broadening their capabilities in the pharmaceutical industry and especially in the representation of generic drug companies in Paragraph IV counseling and patent litigation.

The firm’s new office will be located at 1050 17th Street, N.W., Suite 600, Washington, D.C. 20036. 202-496-4966. For more information visit AminTalati.com
