Defamation
Our Defamation team represents individuals, businesses, and public figures in protecting their reputations against false and damaging statements. We advise clients on pursuing and defending claims of libel, slander, and related torts across both traditional and digital platforms.
We evaluate the merits of defamation claims, draft cease-and-desist letters, and litigate matters involving false publications, online attacks, and reputational harm. Our attorneys are skilled in navigating the complex interplay between free speech protections and defamation law, ensuring that claims are approached with both strategic and legal precision.
In today’s digital environment, reputational risk moves quickly. We help clients respond to defamatory content posted online, including on social media, blogs, and review platforms. When appropriate, we pursue injunctive relief or removal of content, and work with media outlets and opposing counsel to reach timely resolution.
Whether you are facing a reputational attack or seeking to defend against a defamation claim, we provide responsive, practical counsel to protect your name, business, and public standing.
