Louis P. DiLorenzo

Louis DiLorenzo brings an industry perspective to helping clients develop creative, enduring advertising and marketing campaigns. He counsels some of the most innovative and storied brands, agencies, and media companies on issues that may put advertisers and campaigns at risk, including false advertising, intellectual property, and industry-specific laws and regulations.

As a former advertising industry professional, Louis understands how the strategies that inspire campaigns can also inform legal outcomes.

Combining experienced judgment with a passion for the industry and a sense of humor, Louis immerses himself in each client’s business to help them distinguish real risks from theoretical ones and move projects forward with confidence.

While Louis works with a wide range of brands and industries, he has a particular focus on the alcoholic beverage sector.
