Libel and Slander

When accused of actionable statements, companies and individuals recognize the experience of Fulbright & Jaworski in providing superior legal guidance. Our lawyers successfully handle claims at both the trial and appellate levels, as well as the adverse public relations reactions that follow.

Accusations of actionable statements associated with libel, slander and business disparagement require specific legal skill sets . . . skill sets offered by the experienced lawyers in Fulbright's Libel and Slander Practice Group.

We routinely provide legal counsel for companies and individuals in both state and federal court on claims ranging from libel and slander to business disparagement. Libel and slander claims often arise in employment matters, which are handled by our Libel and Slander Practice Group and our Labor and Employment Practice Group.

Whether the actionable statements occurred in the work place, in the press, in a motion picture or on national television, our lawyers draw upon the additional knowledge of other Fulbright lawyers, including those in our Media Practice Group, to utilize the firmwide experience often needed to resolve these cases.
