Alan Feldstein brings with him more than twenty years of advertising and marketing law experience and more than ten years in the dietary supplement industry. Alan's expertise is such that he serves as a professor of law on the Adjunct Faculty staff at Southwestern University School of Law, teaching advertising and marketing law.
Alan's legal career began as a successful civil trial lawyer prosecuting business litigation cases for his clients. Alan then joined and became a partner in a New York advertising and marketing law firm representing film, television, and music clients, business clients and advertising agencies, direct response television clients, marketing firms and advertisers. Known for his negotiating skills and business acumen, Alan’s clients always have appreciated his business perspective on resolving legal issues affecting their business in an efficient and cost effective manner.
In 1997, at the request of one of his clients, Alan became general counsel for a dietary supplement company and was part of the management team that took the company to over 150 million dollars in annual sales.
In addition to this work, Alan was the catalyst for putting together several industry associations in their ongoing effort to educate the public, legislators and administration officials on the facts and science regarding dietary supplements containing ephedra. In that capacity Alan flew over a million miles meeting with officials in Washington, D.C., and state capitals around the country. His unique ability to reach consensus, convey complicated issues in simple terms, draft legislation, work with legislators and agency officials and advising companies on how to convey their messages in a positive and effective manner have garnered him respect in the industry.
He also has extensive experience in assisting nutritional companies with contracts, copyright and trademark, litigation supervision, claim substantiation and regulatory issues.
As a result of all this experience and his extraordinary qualifications, Alan was selected by Collins, McDonald & Gann, P.C., to become Of Counsel to the firm and assist CMG clients in complying with the constantly changing, ever challenging maze of rules and regulations affecting nutritional companies. Alan is personally responsible for advising some of CMG's biggest clients in the supplement industry.
His location in southern California provides CMG with a presence on both coasts.
