Reputation Damaged from Defamation?

A Texas Business Litigation Lawyer Can Help

The Dallas business litigation lawyers of The Beckham Group represent employees, executives, individuals, and businesses harmed by written (libel) or spoken (slander) defamation. The Beckham Group understands how personal defamation causes great emotional distress in the form of shame and abandonment by colleagues and friends. The economic harm resulting from these attacks, particularly when it relates to your business or business reputation, is potentially severe. For an employee or executive, defamation can result in the loss of your job, jeopardized future promotions, and the subjection of an employee to unfair unemployment practices. Lost good will, lost profits, lost contracts, lost customers, lost reputation, and ultimately, total business failure, and bankruptcy are all defamation consequences a business can suffer. Stop the lies. Do not allow defamation to undermine the hard work put into building your reputation and your business.

Defamatory communications, written, spoken, or both, include:

• Libel – False and unprivileged written, printed, or visual publication. These are especially damaging to you personally, or to your business’s reputation, because of the great number of people with access to the written words, and because that number grows exponentially over timeThe most prevalent form of libel today is posting on the internet, which can have an immediate and heightened detrimental effect due to the volume of readers exposed to it. Libel exposes a person or business to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or disgrace. The speaker, the writer, and even the publisher of the libel are subject to defamation lawsuits.
• Slander – False and unprivileged oral publication. Slanderous speech on the radio, television, or other methods, including bodily gestures, is defamatory when the statements carried malicious intent and is made with full knowledge that the statements were false.
