Libel (the written form of defamation) and slander (oral defamation), are civil torts punishable in many jurisdictions. Ajamie lawyers counsel companies and individuals on claims ranging from libel and slander to disparagement of goods and services. We understand the damages associated with libel and slander, including harm to an individual or company’s reputation, loss of earning potential, wrongful termination, demotion and the possibility of severe financial damage (including bankruptcy). These losses can also occur in companies unjustly accused of defaming another party.
When appropriate, our lawyers challenge libelous or slanderous actions and help clients repair damages to their reputation and earning ability. We also are prepared to obtain restraining orders and take other steps to prevent future defamation from occurring.
