A legal balance between freedom of expression and reputation.
From press and broadcasting activities to digital content, from reputation protection to access blocking; we stand by you in media law's delicate balance between freedom of expression and personal rights.
The law of speech, content and reputation
Media and press law strikes the balance between freedom of expression and of the press on one side and personal rights, commercial reputation and privacy on the other. With digitalisation, this balance has broadened to also cover social media, online content and platform liability.
For content creators and publishers we provide preventive legal review; for individuals and institutions we carry out the processes of reputation protection, reply and correction, and blocking access to content.

Although not mandatory, it is strongly recommended. A short pre-publication legal review identifies the risks of defamation, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement in advance, protecting the publisher from costly litigation and reputational loss. For content producers, preventive review is the most economical form of protection.
The person who is the subject of a publication may, within the statutory time limit, request the publication of a correction-and-reply text proportionate to the publication. If the publisher refuses, an application may be made to the court. Preparing the text in accordance with the law and complying with the deadlines are decisive; we manage the process from the outset.
Yes. For content that is untrue and infringes your personal rights, you can request that access be blocked and the content removed, and you can also file an action for damages. Speed is critical in this process; we act quickly to contain the content before it spreads.
The right to be forgotten gives a person the ability to request that content about their past that has become outdated and is no longer of public benefit be removed from search results. The merits of the request are assessed according to the balance between the nature of the content and the public interest. We handle the application and the necessary legal proceedings.
Against false or unfair content that targets commercial reputation, measures such as access blocking, content removal, damages and, where necessary, unfair-competition provisions come into play. In a corporate reputation crisis, we plan the legal and communications steps in a coordinated way.
