With regulators, lawmakers, and consumers increasingly focused on pricing transparency, understanding the legal treatment of surcharges, "junk fees," and disclosure practices is more important than ever. Recent federal and state initiatives are redefining how companies can present pricing information, particularly in marketing, point-of-sale disclosures, and digital transactions. In this webinar, we will unpack the evolving framework around pricing transparency, including:
- What constitutes a “junk fee” under various state and federal definitions
- When and where surcharges are prohibited or restricted
- The intersection between pricing laws and traditional Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices (UDAP) enforcement
- Key developments in California, New York, and other jurisdictions driving regulatory trends
- Compliance strategies for advertising, e-commerce, and consumer-facing pricing models
Whether you're in-house counsel or part of a compliance team, this session will provide practical insights for navigating this complex and rapidly changing area.
