Federal Trade Commission
The Federal Trade Commission is a federal government agency that governs a wide range of trade related matters as well as many consumer matters. The Federal Trade Commission has broad powers to regulate matters as diverse as antitrust law that impacts consumers to improper business practices that can deceive consumers about a product or service. The Federal Trade Commission conducts public hearings, promulgates trade regulations, appears in federal court to litigate on behalf of consumers and other groups, and generally oversees many aspects of interstate trade. Many lawyers work for the Federal Trade Commission and many lawyers in private practice are experienced in representing people and businesses who appear before the Federal Trade Commission.
