Media & First Amendment

At PAG Law, we partner with story tellers no matter the platform they choose to tell their stories. We provide clients the legal tools they need to innovate and engage in free expression, and advocate on behalf of all types of speakers – print, radio, television and Internet publishers.

We also work with the creative bunch behind the scenes, providing producers, content distributors and tech gurus with the legal infrastructure they need to succeed. Count on us to protect your ideas, gain access to facts, distribute your content, leverage talent and sponsorship opportunities, contract with vendors, engage with end-users, and get paid for your hard work.

And when it comes to litigating cases on behalf of publishers and technology companies, our philosophy is simple: traditional legal strategies are not always better. We work hard to inject a fresh approach to defeating claims that threaten to stifle innovation and speech.

Production & Distribution

PAG is happy to be a part of the development of ideas from conception to launch.

Our legal services cover a wide-spectrum of issues in production, post production, digital distribution, and content workflow across multiple platforms. We negotiate and draft production, development and licensing agreements, distribution agreements, non-disclosure agreements, vendor and service agreements, and obtain and manage publicity rights, IP rights and clearances.

Social Media

We partner with internet publishers and operators to help them stay in line with consumer protection and anti-piracy laws applicable to their business practices.

We provide guidance on the ins and outs of statutes regulating internet speech, such as the Communications Decency Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and the like. We answer “can I use this?” type of questions. We draft, manage and enforce terms of service and social media policies, assess notice and take down requests, and shed light on intellectual property and privacy related issues.

News-gathering & Reporting

Sometimes freedom of the press isn’t free at all. When the government shuns requests for access to its records, we challenge those decisions.

If print, digital and audio visual content has the potential for controversy, we help our clients manage legal risks from the prepublication stage of the process and afterwards. We evaluate retraction requests. And we defend reporters when the confidentiality of their sources or work product become the target of subpoenas designed to compel disclosure.

Privacy

Regardless of the industry or size of your business, chances are that it collects information concerning its customers, employees, associates or competitors. And this information probably is stored somewhere for a variety of reasons and uses.

Laws and regulations governing the collection and handling of this data abound, yet when it comes to being compliant, one size does not fit all. At PAG Law, our role is to help businesses navigate the murky waters of privacy laws, consumer protection policies and cybersecurity requirements so they can make data work in their favor, and not against them. The PAG’s privacy legal services include:

Privacy Assessments

No one wins when data usage turns into a liability.

We help businesses and government entities understand their legal obligations and existing best practices regarding the gathering, use and disposal of information applicable to their industry and achieve compliance rationally and cost effectively.

This includes thorough assessments of current business practices to identify areas of vulnerability and risk; the design of privacy frameworks fitting to your specific industry and business goals; periodic audits to keep your organization compliant; up-to-date counseling on Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines and the implications of its consent decrees; negotiation, drafting and management of your vendor agreements to avoid unintended gaps; evaluation of your marketing campaigns, particularly those involving telemarketing, mass-emailings and children.

Data Transfers

PAG Law assists clients who need to import data covered by the EU Directive on Data Protection by guiding them through the compliance process required by the EU-US and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield directives. We can help you stay in line with existing legal principles at all times.

Incident Response

PAG Law helps clients understand their legal obligations regarding data breach notification requirements, and design an effective mechanism to address potential data breaches within their organization.
