Business Reputation

Wordsmith Law offers business professionals and business brands discreet, professional assistance with reputation management and brand-related legal services — protecting the relationships and reputations your business depends on.

Reputation & Brand Defense

  • Business Reputation Management
  • Brand Reputation & Compliance
  • Professional Reputation Defense
  • Regulatory-Compliant Public Response

Maintaining a business's public profile, and adhering to regulatory compliance while doing so, at times requires legal representation to bring proactive legal communication and action against offending parties or to defend against business harm.

Defamation, Libel & Slander

  • Defamation
  • Libel
  • Slander

Defamation is a statement that injures a business's or professional's reputation. Libel is a false and unprivileged statement in writing, print, or other fixed representation; slander is a false and unprivileged statement made orally or by broadcast.

Emergency & Injunctive Relief

  • Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs)
  • Civil Restraining Orders (CROs)
  • Civil Injunctions

A temporary restraining order typically lasts 20–25 days; a civil restraining order can last up to five years and, in certain cases, be renewed. Civil injunctions can prevent irreparable injury — for example, trade secret theft, unfair competition, or breach of a restrictive covenant — and enforce legal rights while a dispute is resolved.
