Media law and freedom of speech
Providing advice on media law and freedom of speech is one of the core competences of HUTH DIETRICH HAHN. It is of great importance not only for media companies and individuals, but also for our entire economic life and our basic democratic order.
Freedom of speech is also subject to rules. We advise and represent companies, corporate bodies and private individuals who invoke freedom of speech or whose rights have been violated by statements made in the traditional or new media.
We also advise on the development of strategies for dealing with situations of crisis. This includes interaction with the media, press and public, in particular suitable forms of communication for public relations work.
