Reputation, Defamation & Social Media

Individuals & Businesses

A false ac­cu­sa­tion can cost an in­di­vid­u­al a ca­reer, a con­tract, or a fam­i­ly’s pri­va­cy. A busi­ness can lose cus­tomers, em­ploy­ees, in­vestors, and part­ners. The firm builds the re­sponse around what the client stands to lose and the peo­ple whose con­fi­dence the client needs to keep.

Defamation Claims and Defense

The firm brings defama­tion claims for clients harmed by false state­ments of fact in news re­port­ing, pod­casts, video, and so­cial me­dia. It also de­fends clients sued over their pub­li­ca­tions and pub­lic state­ments. The work en­com­pass­es pre-suit de­mands, ne­go­ti­a­tion, dis­cov­ery, mo­tion prac­tice, and tri­al.

Anonymous and Coordinated Attacks

The firm pur­sues anony­mous-ac­count mat­ters through John Doe ac­tions, dis­cov­ery pro­ceed­ings, and plat­form sub­poe­nas to iden­ti­fy the peo­ple re­spon­si­ble for the pub­li­ca­tions.

The First Response

The firm pre­serves ev­i­dence, pre­pares preser­va­tion, cease-and-de­sist, and re­trac­tion de­mands, and seeks emer­gen­cy re­lief when sup­port­ed by the facts and law. Pub­lic state­ments are pre­pared with the lit­i­ga­tion in view.

Reputation Recovery

Af­ter the im­me­di­ate dis­pute, the firm pur­sues cor­rec­tions and re­trac­tions, re­sponds to the con­tin­ued cir­cu­la­tion of false ma­te­ri­al, and de­vel­ops the pub­lic record and com­mu­ni­ca­tions need­ed to sup­port the client’s per­son­al, pro­fes­sion­al, or com­mer­cial in­ter­ests.
