Our focus on consumer protection and compliance in highly regulated sectors sets us apart. Beckett's vast experience working in the federal government in translates into a wealth of knowledge and experience in the following areas:
Life Sciences:
Beckett has years of experience working in the life sciences space, including overseeing criminal and civil enforcement actions against major pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and distributors, nationwide and online pharmacies, as well as with e-commerce platforms. Beckett's experience includes a wide range of criminal and civil matters involving adulterated and misbranded drugs and medical devices, food, dietary supplements, biologics, and tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and vaping products. Beckett has spent years working with FDA, DEA and DOJ on resolutions involving the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDCA) and Controlled Substances Act (CSA) as well as accompanying compliance programs.
Transportation:
Beckett has extensive experience working with the Department of Transportation on a variety of matters ranging from the airline industry (with Federal Aviation Administration), to the automotive industry (with National Highway Transportation Safety Administration), to the rail industry (with Amtrak and the Federal Railroad Administration).
Beckett has also been advising a Fortune 25 automotive manufacturing company on compliance issues.
Data Privacy & Advertising:
Beckett has worked with the Federal Trade Commission for years on matters involving data privacy. Beckett is experienced working with the FTC Act, the COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), the ROSCA (Restore Online Shopper's Confidence Act), the TSR (Telemarketers Sales Rule), the MUSA (Made in America Act), the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and other FTC-administered orders and provisions of law. These actions increasingly involve claims related to the acquisition, use, and transfer of consumers’ personal information, and Beckett's experience can assist companies facing investigations or litigation in this space.
Product Safety:
Beckett has extensive experience working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on both civil and criminal matters related to product safety. The CPSA requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of consumer products to report “immediately” to the CPSC information that reasonably supports the conclusion that a product contains a defect that could create a substantial product hazard or creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death. Beckett's experience can help companies navigating this complex regulatory space.
Fraud and Transnational Organized Crime:
Beckett has spent years working on international matters involving transnational criminal organizations involved in a variety of criminal conduct including financial fraud, corruption, and trafficking. Beckett's experience working with cross-border issues, foreign governments, and related issues can support companies working across borders.
