What We Do
National recognition & unrivaled success
We litigate high-stakes defamation cases, secure corrections and retractions, and partner with communications professionals to fix or nix misleading stories before publication.
Collaborating seamlessly with communications professionals, we proactively address and rectify misleading narratives before they reach the public domain. This proactive approach not only safeguards our clients’ reputations but also underscores our dedication to upholding accuracy and integrity in media representation.
With a comprehensive strategy that spans litigation, correction, and collaboration, we are a trusted advisor for high-profile cases.
Defamation litigation
Our lawyers have represented clients in some of the nation’s highest profile defamation cases and have scored record-breaking jury verdicts, arbitrations, and settlements for our clients.
Crisis communications & reputation counseling
We partner with the nation’s top crisis PR firms and in-house communications and legal departments to fix or nix false and misleading stories before they are published.
Retractions & corrections
We engage media outlets and others who have published false and misleading claims about our clients. Our lawyers have obtained countless retractions and corrections.
False advertising & commercial disparagement
Our lawyers have successfully litigated false advertising and unfair competition claims in federal and state courts from coast to coast, protected our clients’ trademarks and domain name rights, and enforced our clients’ non-disclosure and non-disparagement contractual rights.
