I advise journalists, editors, and media professionals

with regard to research, undercover investigations (camera, photo, and sound recordings), protection of informants, publication and reporting of suspicions, defense against violations of personal rights, enforcement of information from authorities (administrative proceedings), labor law issues, etc. In these cases, the early involvement of a lawyer is often crucial to secure your rights.

Typical areas of advice:

• Cease-and-desist letters
• Defense against claims for injunctive relief, counterstatements, revocation
• Preliminary injunctions
• Advice on journalistic research (limits, possibilities)
• Information rights of journalists
• Advice for authors, photographers, and editors
• Interview arrangements, exclusivity agreements
• Advice on online archives and personal rights
• Employment law for journalists and media professionals (warnings, dismissals, etc.)
• Representation in court and criminal investigation proceedings
