Media Liability

We regularly represent insurers that provide media liability coverage to artists, musicians, publishers, sports teams and leagues, advertising agencies, social media platforms and broadcast and other media outlets in connection with claims alleging copyright and trademark infringement, plagiarism, misappropriation of likeness, defamation, slander, libel and invasion of privacy, as well as federal and state statutory violations under, for example, the Video Privacy Protection Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the California Privacy Rights Act and the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act. We assist insurers in evaluating coverage, assessing underlying exposures, and obtaining successful claims resolution through informal workouts, mediation, or coverage litigation. We also provide policy wording and drafting assistance to insurers.
