Media & Broadcasting
Brodies' media practice is wide ranging and includes advice on defamation; contempt; reputation management; privacy and confidentiality; freedom of information and data protection. We are regularly instructed in libel vetting and have significant experience in pre-publication reviews for publishers and pre-broadcast content review. We have had particular success in assisting clients who have or may be damaged by defamatory user generated content.
UK broadcasters and media regulators value our specialist advice on the approach of the Scottish courts to questions of contempt of court, the enforcement of regulatory measures and the prosecution of criminal offences relating to publication and disclosure of sensitive information.
We also understand that protecting information from publication can be a key priority – we regularly recover commercially or personally sensitive material which has been obtained unlawfully or which could cause significant damage if disclosed.
