If you have been the subject of false information or gossip, the damage done to your reputation and future can be acute. You might think there’s nothing you can do about it. However, there are laws that can protect you in situations like this. That’s why it’s best to be sure that you clearly understand your rights and how you can safeguard your future.
“No one will protect your name and your reputation better than we will.”
An umbrella term for libel (written) and slander (spoken), defamation is false information, and it can cause significant harm. Defamation law protects us from that potential damage, giving us a chance to defend our reputations from false rumors and out-and-out lies.
