National Media & Communications Law Attorneys Introduction:

Media and communication law attorneys provide legal expertise in the areas of print and electronic media, publishing, telecommunications, advertising, and commercial speech. Within these areas, attorneys may deal with First Amendment free speech issues, defamation, trade libel and product disparagement, privacy violations, copyright infringements, circulation and distribution issues, public records access, cable law, FCC law, and the Telecommunications Act. 

While some media and communication law attorneys may focus on particular areas of media or communications, they typically must be knowledgeable of a broad spectrum of issues, such as corporate and tax laws, intellectual property concerns, labor and employment law, environmental issues, land use and zoning, and commercial law. 

Media and communication law attorneys also need to be well versed in both domestic and international licensing concerns, since so many companies operate globally. Licensing issues may cover product, character, and technology licensing, and the licensing of patents, trademarks, and copyrights. 

Media and communication law attorneys represent newspapers, broadcasters, publishers, telecommunications service providers, news reporters, and others within the media arena. One of the biggest challenges for media and communication law attorneys is the constantly changing laws and evolving technology within the industry. With the advent of new technology comes additional laws to govern its use.
