Vedder Price's Media & Entertainment Litigation team includes several former journalists with top-tier journalism school degrees who have personally experienced newsgathering in the trenches and successful publication despite powerful forces of censorship. With deep experience dating back to traditional media before the Internet, our lawyers have evolved as news, advertising, entertainment and telecommunications have evolved, and the practice now involves digital risks of all stripes, including risks for which the law is embryonic. Our team has appeared in more than half of all U.S. states as lead counsel on matters involving defamation, rights of publicity, invasion of privacy, and various alleged federal and state regulatory and statutory harms asserted on a direct or class-wide basis. We’re diverse, nimble, efficient, effective, and at the cutting edge of communications law.
