Ballard Spahr’s Media and Entertainment Law Group is the premier practice of its kind in the country. Our attorneys have played a central role in many of the most significant First Amendment cases in recent years—for the most prominent U.S. news organizations as well as for individual citizens and public interest organizations.
Our media lawyers help clients across platforms navigate some of the most challenging legal issues that arise in a healthy, functioning democracy—in the newsroom and in court. Our clients range from global news, entertainment, and advertising companies to local newspapers, news startups, freelance journalists, and internet companies. We also represent studios, directors and producers, sports teams, universities, authors, filmmakers, nonprofits, and government watchdog organizations—anyone who creates or disseminates content.
