Overview
Alexa Meera Singh takes a creative approach to counseling agencies, advertisers and global brands. She addresses complex legal issues that arise in advertising, marketing and media activities, and helps clients navigate regulatory requirements of the Food & Drug Administration, Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and other state and federal agencies while adhering to industry-specific mandates.
With a keen understanding of a wide range of industries, including beauty, wellness, sustainability, fashion and textiles, food and beverage, and children’s products, Alexa provides cross-purpose, multidisciplinary legal counseling. A strong communicator, she translates complex legal principles into actionable guidance and balances legal compliance with business needs.
Alexa supports client solutions as early as the initial concept development stage by advising on claim substantiation and advertising copy, assisting with regulatory reviews and approvals, and developing compliance programs. In addition, she frequently advises on social media and influencer marketing campaigns as well as sweepstakes, contests and promotions. Alexa also helps draft and negotiate agreements concerning brand campaign activations and supports the development and licensing of consumer products and intellectual property.
