Cranfill Sumner LLP published a new article titled “Defamation and Reputation Management in the Digital Age,” co-authored by Vince Eisinger, a civil commercial litigator,  and Sameer Somal, CEO of Blue Ocean Global Technology. The piece addresses the emerging challenge of defamation in today’s internet-driven world and brings insight into the legal frameworks while providing strategic reputation management solutions.

The article discusses the subtlety of defamation law and refers back to basic principles that determine when speech will or will not be regarded as defamation. It explains how the internet has increased defamation risks in regard to factors such as speed, global reach, and permanence. It highlights case studies where defamatory material, both traditional and online, has caused substantial ruin to individuals and companies.

“Defamation laws simply were not designed for the realities of the internet, where a single false statement can spread globally within seconds and cause permanent harm,” said Eisinger. “It’s more critical now than ever for people and businesses to step up and take responsibility for their digital footprint.”

Somal added, “Online defamation can impact every aspect of a person’s or company’s identity, often with far-reaching consequences. Managing this reality requires a deeper understanding of how online narratives develop and how to safeguard against them effectively.”

The article is both a legal guide and a practical resource for business leaders, legal professionals, and digital communications enthusiasts.
