About
Provided by WilmerHale
As technology continues to reshape how news, information and entertainment are produced, packaged, commercialized, shared and consumed, the relevant legal and regulatory boundaries are constantly being tested and redrawn. WilmerHale’s premier litigation capabilities, our regulatory and government affairs acumen, and our leading-edge work in the areas of intermediary liability, cybersecurity, privacy, antitrust, intellectual property, capital markets and strategic response, enable us to navigate clients’ most sophisticated challenges. The firm is a leader in the representation of technology and new media companies—ranging from our landmark victories in cases holding that online platforms are generally immune from liability for third-party content, to representation of a major social media company in congressional hearings and before other regulators concerning privacy issues, to an array of other high-stakes matters for both new and established participants in the media and entertainment industries. We have helped our clients address many of the most complex legal, regulatory and business issues to arise in recent years, including high-profile cyber breaches, competition challenges, FCC broadcast indecency charges, First Amendment controversies, and privacy regulation in the United States, the European Union and elsewhere.
