Law Firm Overview

Protecting speech and our clients is our law firm's central mission.

Our lawyers regularly represent newspapers, broadcasters and entertainment companies in all types of matters related to the gathering and publishing of information. But the firm’s clientele and experience extend well beyond the traditional media. We regularly advise advertisers and owners of intellectual property. We assist them in promotional activities such as sweepstakes, contests, and advertising. And we provide counsel in trademark and copyright matters, including registration, licensing, and acquisition.

Our lawyers also routinely assist businesses and individuals with a broad range of litigation, including such matters as commercial litigation, antitrust defense, trademark and copyright disputes, defamation defense, and defense of privacy and misappropriation claims.

We possess considerable skill, judgment and experience, as well as a deep commitment to serve the needs of our clients.
