Media & Protection of Reputation
As the media industry undergoes rapid transformation, the evolving world of media law becomes ever more challenging to anyone who publishes, shares or is the target of an information. Entrepreneurs and private persons may turn to us to protect their personal rights (reputation, privacy, own image) in the online information age, using all legal means available (civil and criminal law, data protection).
We also assist clients, ranging from producers, media companies to digital providers whose information and potential for legal action go viral in seconds, to prevent, counter or resolve cases in those matters as well as to assess their liabilities and risks.
Beyond our experience in the pre-contentious and contentious fields, we have extensive expertise in negotiating and drafting contracts in the media and broadcasting industry (incl. marketing, sponsorship, merchandising and broadcasting agreements).
