It’s a busy time for media law and First Amendment attorneys. In the wake of Hulk Hogan’s fatal verdict against Gawker and President Donald Trump’s near daily attacks on the media, news organizations are facing lawsuits in high-stakes and high-visibility cases.
Amid what some see as an uptick in libel cases, five attorneys involved in major defamation and First Amendment matters moved their practice this month from Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz to Davis Wright Tremaine. The group includes New York partners Katherine Bolger and Rachel Strom; Washington, D.C., partner Nathan Siegel; and two New York associates, Amy Wolf and Adam Lazier.
