Media (freedom of expression).
Freedom of expression is a fundamental right, but that doesn’t mean anything can be said or written anywhere. There are legal boundaries that must be respected; moreover, conflicts with the rights of others can easily arise. Finding the balance between these rights can be difficult. Griffiths Advocaten assists both news media in defending their journalistic freedom and victims whose privacy or reputation has been compromised by a publication.
Griffiths Advocaten advises and litigates on matters including:
- Freedom of the press
- Damage to reputation
- Privacy infringement
- Portrait rights
- Rectification and compensation
