Media Law

'Media' incorporates the means through which ideas are expressed or communicated. Obvious examples of the media include; newspapers, magazines, TV and radio. The media also includes more specific publications of ideas and opinions, such as sales brochures, websites, advertising and presentations. Legal concerns can arise in all such areas.

We are equipped to deal with both the obvious and less obvious applications and appreciate that sales literature and statements publicly made by competitors are every bit as important to many of our business clients as high profile publications.

If appropriate we will:

• Advise upon and draft suitable agreements for your use
• Consider and draw to your attention any infringement of intellectual property rights
• Consider and draw to your attention any content that could possibly be considered defamatory
• Advise of the existence of any breach of a protected right of privacy

The very nature of media work means that any problem is likely to carry a reasonably high profile. Practical, diplomatic, cost effective and prompt solutions are a must and those in our cross-departmental team pool their knowledge and skills to give a rounded and totally comprehensive service. Our expertise lies in advising on the content and form of any necessary agreements and being on-hand to deal with any difficulties that may arise later on.

Our team also advises individuals and businesses who have been the subject of defamatory statements in the media, or who have concerns that other rights have been infringed.
