Manatt Adds Advertising Partner Terri Seligman in New York
NEW YORK-(Business Wire)-September 15, 2009 - Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, announced today that Terri J. Seligman has joined the firm as a partner in the Advertising, Marketing and Media division. Seligman comes to Manatt from Loeb & Loeb, LLP, and is based in the firm’s New York, NY, office.
Seligman focuses her practice on claims support and emerging media – two areas of particular strength for Manatt’s industry-leading advertising group. Her work encompasses all legal issues relating to online marketing and social media as well as traditional advertising and marketing vehicles such as rebates, rewards and gift cards. She counsels corporations across a wide range of industries, including financial services, consumer products, entertainment, telecommunications and pharmaceuticals. In addition, Seligman counsels clients in advertising disputes and regulatory matters, and has represented companies in numerous disputes before the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureau.
“Terri is among a select group of lawyers at the forefront of the advertising revolution and is widely recognized for her extensive knowledge and deep understanding of electronic marketing and promotion,” said Linda A. Goldstein, chair of Manatt’s Advertising, Marketing and Media division. “Her impressive background and abilities bolster the depth and breadth of our expertise in this area, and I know she will be a valuable resource to clients. We are thrilled to be working with Terri.”
The addition of Seligman closely follows the August 2009 addition of prominent consumer protection lawyer Anthony DiResta in Manatt’s Washington, D.C., office.
"The opportunity to work with such a well-rounded and talented group of lawyers was a pivotal factor in my decision to join Manatt," said Seligman. In addition to the advertising practice, she noted the firm's strong healthcare practice, as well as its extraordinary litigation division and its active practice before federal and state regulators.
"I was equally impressed with the firm’s government relations capabilities. From the nation’s capital to state and local seats of power, Manatt is connected to those making policy and regulations. This will be a tremendous benefit to my clients, and I am excited to be a part of this dynamic group," she added. Seligman also identified Manatt’s demonstrated commitment to diversity and advancement of its women lawyers as a critical factor in her decision to join the firm.
William T. Quicksilver, Manatt’s managing partner and chief executive officer, said Seligman’s addition “further strengthens our outstanding national advertising practice and underscores our commitment to growth in our core markets. We are pleased to welcome her to the firm."
Included for two consecutive years in Chambers USA, America's Leading Lawyers for Business, in the areas of Media & Entertainment: Advertising and Media & Entertainment: Copyright & Contract Disputes, Seligman is a sought-after speaker for national advertising industry programming.
Before entering private practice, Seligman served as staff counsel to the New York State Commission on Government Integrity, a commission appointed by former New York State Governor Mario Cuomo to investigate corruption in city and state government.
Seligman earned her J.D. from the New York University School of Law, and her B.A., with honors, from Wesleyan University. She was a law clerk to the Honorable Morey Sear, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
