Advertising Law


Complying with Canadian advertising laws can be challenging for brands and agencies. Advertising in Canada is highly regulated. Some of the practical challenges include consistent enforcement by the Competition Bureau, CRTC and other enforcement agencies, increasing regulatory and enforcement focus on digital advertising (e.g., influencer marketing, online price claims and drip pricing, online disclaimers and disclosures and Canada’s anti-spam legislation, CASL) and adapting advertising and marketing campaigns to new technology, platforms and social media.

We help clients practically navigate Canada’s advertising and marketing laws offering Canadian advertising law services in relation to print, online, new media, social media and e-mail marketing and electronic marketing.

Our advertising and marketing law services include legal advice in relation to the general civil and criminal misleading advertising provisions of the Canada’s federal Competition Act, competition law compliance programs, anti-spam law (CASL), Competition Bureau and other complaints and investigations, seeking Competition Bureau advisory opinions, Internet, new media and social media advertising and marketing, provincial consumer protection legislation, running contest/sweepstakes in Canada and sales and other types of promotions.
