Media & Communications Law

WMCZ has provided counsel in many aspects of media and communications law. We advise editorial and advertising departments in newspaper, television, radio and the internet.

Our experience includes pre-publication advice on libel issues, advertising standards, statutory publication bans and criminal contempt and Internet publication issues. It also includes representing media in defamation actions, cases involving access to court and administrative proceedings, and subpoenas of the media.

We have appeared on behalf of media before courts and administrative tribunals in many cases arguing for public access to court and tribunal proceedings.
