What Amin Talati Wasserman does

Amin Talati Wasserman, operating legally as Amin Wasserman Gurnani, LLP and marketed as AWG Law, is a US specialty law firm providing integrated legal services across the full lifecycle of FDA-regulated products — foods, dietary supplements, cosmetics, drugs, and medical devices. The firm's practice spans ten core service areas organized into two interlocking dimensions: regulatory practice (FDA compliance, FTC and state advertising compliance, Proposition 65, consumer class actions, government investigations) and intellectual property and litigation (patent and trade secret protection, trademark and copyright, trial practice and dispute resolution, supply chain and technology disputes, U.S. customs). It maintains three US offices — Chicago (headquarters, 230 W. Monroe), Washington D.C. (5185 MacArthur Blvd NW), and Los Angeles (515 South Flower Street) — strategically positioned near FDA, California regulators, and Midwest CPG brand clusters.

The firm generates revenue through professional services billing on quote-based fee arrangements across its five industry verticals. Its go-to-market is sales-led, anchored by thought leadership: attorneys are regularly quoted in NutraIngredients, The Daily Pour, and other industry trade publications; the firm publishes a Regulatory Roundup newsletter and maintains a LinkedIn presence. Client acquisition flows from industry visibility, professional referral networks, and direct engagement with scaling brands navigating FDA, FTC, and Proposition 65 compliance. Named practitioners with public visibility include Ivan Wasserman, Rend Al-Mondhiry, and Jennifer Adams.

Amin Wasserman Gurnani is a privately held Limited Liability Partnership with no disclosed venture or private equity backing, no parent company, and no subsidiary structure. Ownership sits with participating partners. The firm earned a top-tier ranking in the inaugural Legal 500 US Elite rankings (2024), a third-party credential distinguishing it within US city-level specialty practices. No technology platform, mobile application, or AI/ML capability is disclosed; the firm's value proposition rests on human expertise in narrowly regulated domains rather than proprietary tooling.
