Reputation & Defamation

A damaging comment in an online review, a competitor’s criticism, or a public allegation can cause harm well beyond the words themselves. Much depends on where the statement was made, who made it, and how much damage it caused.

We advise on defamation claims, including social media posts, injurious and misleading statements, and defending Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. We also help clients manage legal risk before problems arise, working alongside public relations consultants on public statements and responses. Whether you are defending a claim or bringing one, timing and evidence matter from the outset.
