Media and Communications Law

Some of our litigators focus on the First Amendment and State Constitutional issues that are of concern to newspapers, broadcast media, magazines, news services and a variety of other organizations that disseminate information. We represent our clients in the defense of defamation and privacy-related actions, the "vetting" of feature articles and new stories and with responses to subpoenas, often based on Shield Law protection and First Amendment privileges. Frequently our attorneys enable clients to obtain access to information, through the Freedom of Information Act and Open Meeting Law.
