Loeb & Loeb LLP

Nerissa Coyle McGinn is a Partner in the Chicago office of Loeb & Loeb LLP, where her practice sits squarely at the convergence of advertising and promotions, artificial intelligence, emerging media, technology, privacy, and intellectual property law. She counsels clients ranging from some of the world’s most recognizable brands to early-stage startups on the legal risks of AI-generated content, the development of internal AI policies, digital and influencer advertising, trademark clearance, loyalty and subscription programs, and compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). With more than a decade of recognition as one of Illinois’s leading advertising, media, and intellectual property lawyers, she is regularly called on to help marketers clear campaigns that push the boundaries of what technology can do — including the synthetic, AI-generated, and deepfake-adjacent content at the center of this program.

Education & Credentials

Ms. McGinn earned her J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School and her B.A., magna cum laude, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She is admitted to practice in Illinois, before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern District of Illinois (Trial Bar) and the Central District of Illinois.

Recognition & Leadership

Ms. McGinn has been named an "Illinois Super Lawyer" in Intellectual Property and Media and Advertising Law (2014–2024, 2026), a "Best Lawyer" in Advertising Law by The Best Lawyers in America (2027), and an "IP Star" by Managing Intellectual Property magazine every year since 2013, including its "Top 250 Women in IP." She has been repeatedly recommended by The Legal 500 US in Advertising and Marketing, Technology: Data Protection and Privacy, and Cyber Law, was named among Diversity MBA Magazine's "Top 100 Under 50 Diverse Executive Leaders," and appeared for years on the "Top Lawyers in Illinois" lists across multiple categories.

Professional Involvement

Ms. McGinn serves as Co-Chair of the Tomorrow's Leader Award Sub-Committee of the International Trademark Association and is a member of the Promotions Marketing Association, the Chicago Bar Association, and the Asian-American Bar Association. She previously taught as an Adjunct Professor of Intellectual Property Legal Writing and U.S. Advertising Law at John Marshall Law School and as an Instructor in Undergraduate Trial Advocacy at the University of Illinois. A frequent speaker on AI, advertising, and privacy, her recent engagements include Loeb & Loeb's 2026 AI Summit in Chicago, the Privacy + Security Forum Fall Academy 2026, and the Sports Lawyers Association Annual Conference, where she presented "Data Privacy in Sports: Navigating Data, AI, Innovation and Regulation."

Experience

Ms. McGinn's representative work spans the full lifecycle of a modern marketing campaign — from clearing creative and negotiating talent, sponsorship, and content-integration deals to defending advertising and consumer class actions. She has represented TikTok in its sponsorship agreement with Soccer United Marketing; Vans in brand partnerships, content integrations, and its Warped Tour collaboration with Insomniac Productions; H&R Block in intellectual property and advertising matters; the sports and entertainment agency Silver Chalice; and Turner Broadcasting entities including Cartoon Network, CNN, truTV, TBS, and Turner Sports in trademark clearance for shows, web properties, and sweepstakes. That combination of AI policy counseling, advertising clearance, privacy, and litigation experience makes her uniquely positioned to walk practitioners through deepfakes, digital talent, fake reviews, and the new wave of AI disclosure laws.
