DLA Piper’s Advertising Group is pleased to present the 2014 edition of our Prize Promotions Across the World Handbook, covering 20 jurisdictions. Many companies use prize promotions as an effective and increasingly popular marketing tool — and the internet and various social media platforms make this an attractive, cost efficient means of reaching a large, multi-jurisdictional customer base, but it is not without its legal challenges. The handbook provides a high-level overview of some of the key requirements surrounding prize promotions, from the management of the early stages, and highlights potentially problematic issues. A .pdf of the full handbook can be found here.

I am a corporate and securities attorney who represents emerging growth companies and the investors who invest in such companies. I serve as the global co-chair of the DLA Piper’s technology sector, the chair of DLA Piper’s Northwest emerging growth and venture capital practice, and the managing partner of DLA Piper’s Seattle office. My practice focuses on securities offerings, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and general corporate law. My clients are individual entrepreneurs, early stage, venture-backed and public companies and venture capital investors. I have assisted my clients in closing hundreds of seed/venture financings and M&A transactions and numerous initial and secondary public offerings. I enjoy helping startup companies navigate their way into successful enterprises.
