When the First Amendment right to free expression runs up against every person’s right to be free of unwarranted character and reputational attacks, we step in to ensure our clients’ rights are vindicated. We understand intimately the delicate nuances of such issues, including the distinction between protected opinion and false statements of fact; between trade libel and inactionable “puffery.” Our attorneys have successfully pursued claims for damages and injunctive relief on behalf of our clients and defended against frivolous claims aimed at muzzling our clients’ free speech rights. We have particular experience defending publicly-traded companies from online cyber-smearing campaigns and short-seller attacks, which are often coordinated by highly-sophisticated and well-heeled competitors or traders seeking to profit at our clients’ expense. Additionally, we pursue and defend against related claims for tortious interference with contract and business relationship, false light, and invasion of privacy.
