Media and Entertainment

News organizations frequently turn to us for counsel and advocacy in a variety of matters, including prepublication and broadcast review and advice, and litigation in the libel and privacy field. We also have substantial experience with information access litigation and in defending against compelled disclosure of sources and information. Because knowledge is a key to litigation avoidance, our attorneys frequently perform newsroom seminars on the latest issues in media law.

We understand that timely availability of legal advice is crucial to our clients who are involved in the delivery of news. Our clients know they can reach us within minutes via direct computer links, cellular telephones or pagers. We consider ourselves "on call" 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Beyond the newsroom, we have successfully defended book publishers, motion picture producers and television networks against lawsuits alleging everything from breaches of contract to invasion of privacy, and from misappropriation of ideas to copyright infringement.

As a full-service business law firm, Honigman has expertise in other areas of concern to publishers and broadcasters, including employment, breaches of talent agreements, advertising and corporate law, to name a few. We also have considerable expertise in both broadcast and print acquisitions and sales.

Our clients include publishers, broadcasters and other media and entertainment organizations throughout the nation. We represent large daily newspapers, national television networks, a major licensor of music copyrights, local newspapers and broadcasters, specialty publishers, and advertising agencies, among many others.
