Commercial Defamation and Trade Libel
False
and derogatory statements concerning a company's reputation
or the reputation of its products and/or services is legally
prohibited. But libel and slander require proof of factual inaccuracy,
publication or comment to third parties, and actual or presumed
damages to the corporation. These factors, when viewed under
the First Amendment Right to Free Speech, present a high hurdle
for proof.
Our attorneys are experienced in counseling our clients on protecting
the reputation of the company and their goods and/or services
from negative commentary by past and present employees, by competitors
or by others including the media. We also are experienced in
defending these reputations in a court of law if necessary.
