With the rapid expansion of the internet and social media, everyone is now in the publishing business! Accordingly, defamation law has become one of the most prominent and relevant, yet misunderstood, areas of law today.
Protect your future.
The surging popularity of social networking and ever-evolving technological advances of the 21st century mean that virtually anyone is a publisher these days, whether they know it or not! Facebook alone has almost 3 billion active monthly users and social media outlets provide individuals with an unlimited ability to communicate and connect directly with the public at large. Accordingly, the line between fair comment and defamation has never been so easy to cross. Of course, the laws of defamation have not changed quite so rapidly over the years (if at all!) and it’s simple for the unwitting or uninitiated to find themselves caught in the crossfire. Our trusted defamation lawyers in Melbourne are here to assist with this complicated area by providing comprehensive and practical advice to our clients.
