Gerald Nehra has over 34 years of experience in law. Nine of these years he was doing legal work for the Amway Corporation where he acted as the director of Legal Affairs for them. His specialty is Direct Sales and MLM related issues, so if you needed an attorney for something else he would more likely be able to point you in the right direction, but he wouldn't be able to represent you more than likely.
Gerald Nehra has helped many pretty high profile MLM Companies make sure their legal affairs were in order. He has engaged in and negotiated many MLM Compliance issues, which included consent orders as well as assurances of voluntary compliance. Once he had to take instant corrective disciplinary action for one high ranking MLM Distributor for actions he took that put an entire Florida MLM Program in jeapordy.
He also speaks speaks on a regular basis to top producers as well as company owners on a regular basis for quality control reasons and to see what can be done to ensure these companies remain in compliance as well as advises on future growth plans.

Richard Waak is Gerald Nehra's partner and has over 30 years of experience in the Network Marketing Industry. He's worked over 20 years as retained counsel to some of the most high profile companies operating in the Network Marketing Industry today. A lion share of this time Richard spent working as the Chief Legal Officer.
Richard Waak graduated from the Detroit School of Law in Detroit, Michigan. He received his Bachelors Degree from Michigan State University. He also has experience in managing responses to civil investigative demands by various State Departments including the FTC, and has vast experience in dealing directly with the FTC. So far Richard Waak has been able to maintain a 100% success rate with no adverse findings.
There are numerous reasons why a new MLM Company would need a Network Marketing Attorney. The first reason is that you need to make sure your website and all your advertising material is FTC Compliant. If it isn't, you could be looking for trouble down the road. The FTC has a lot of power, and it is always a good idea to retain counsel in the event something comes up down the road, so you can best deal with the situation if and when it arises.
