Megan L. Meier is one of only ten attorneys recognized by Chambers & Partners as among the best in the United States for High Net Worth: Defamation / Reputation Management. Hailed as “a powerhouse,” “an extraordinary advocate” and “a shaper in her industry,” Megan recently won an $8 million jury verdict on behalf for the chairman of a private investment firm in libel litigation over a defamatory dossier. She previously sued Fox News for defamation over the network’s dangerous disinformation about the 2020 election—litigation that resulted in a $787.5 million settlement and a summary judgment finding that Fox broadcast false claims about election fraud. Megan has racked up high-profile defamation wins for companies, executives, and founders. In partnership with elite crisis PR firms and in-house communications professionals, Megan has also fixed or nixed false stories before they were published and has scored countless corrections and retractions from the national media.
Megan is regularly tapped to speak at conferences and has guest lectured on defamation and media law at the University of Michigan Law School, Harvard Law School, New York University School of Law, George Washington University School of Media & Public Affairs, University of North Carolina School of Law, William and Mary Law School, and Barnard College.
Megan loves musical theater, cheap white wine, cancelled stand-up comedians, friendships with people across the aisle, and living in the heart of Washington, D.C. with her family and Bernese Mountain Dog, Samson.
