Conflicts over reputation and false statements

We handle defamation disputes, including libel and slander, where false statements threaten reputations and livelihoods.

Overview

Reputation is one of the most valuable assets a business or individual can hold — and one of the most vulnerable. False statements, malicious publications, and damaging online content can cause lasting harm to careers, brands, and relationships.

We handle defamation-related disputes such as:

  • Libel — false written statements that damage reputation.
  • Slander — false spoken statements causing reputational harm.
  • Business defamation — disparagement of a company’s goods, services, or practices.
  • Online and digital defamation — harmful content published on websites, social media, or review platforms.
  • False light and related torts — misleading portrayals that create reputational damage even without direct defamation.
