Defamation

This is, without a doubt, one of the most complicated areas of the law.  You or your company can be defamed if someone falsely says, or writes, that you or your company is criminal, defrauds people, or commits other loathsome acts. 

Who says these things are important -- journalists and newspapers have more leeway than individuals.  How they say it is equally important.  Are they asking leading questions, making statements of their opinion, or making factual statements?  It’s important to know the ins and outs of both federal and state law of defamation.  The tests are different.  In a business context, determining the damages to you and your business from defamation can require complex economic and financial calculations.

A business brawl over defamatory statements or writings will require considerable expertise, both legal and economic.
