The Scope of Personal Reputation Management by our Law Firm

Negative and inaccurate postings on the internet or in the press, as well as unwanted published information, can significantly impact your reputation and adversely affect your business and social contacts.

To prevent this effectively, our personal reputation management services also cover areas far exceeding PR agencies’ competences. Our experienced lawyers for German media and press law develop a strategy that quickly and effectively solves the existing problems.

Online Reputation Management

Our Online Reputation Management includes an initial assessment of your current online presence. The aim is to identify potential risks in advance. For this, we analyze search engine results, social media profiles and other relevant platforms. To combat possible threats as quickly as possible in the future, we are also setting up a permanent modern monitoring system to continuously track online posts and social media activities that affect you. Early detection thus enables a quick reaction and damage limitation.

Handling Unwanted Information

If unwanted information about you is circulating online or offline, there are several ways to limit it. Our team develops tailor-made solutions for you and your situation to avoid unwanted information or to remove it immediately.

  • Information published online can be untraceable through targeted disinformation strategies, such as search engine optimization.
  • Incorrect posts on the Internet can be removed. Our lawyers will handle the removal request and other correspondence with website administrators or other content publishers for you. Learn more about deleting Google search results here.
  • Negative reporting can be limited by written warnings or asserting claims for injunctive relief and removal.
  • We also provide legal assistance in dealing with false allegations and offensive, defamatory or defamatory statements.
  • In the event of a violation of personal rights, the violator can assert claims for a reply, revocation or correction.
  • Furthermore, our lawyers will check whether the requirements are met to assert claims for damages due to damage to your reputation.

Ensuring your Anonymity

However, the added value of professional reputation management by a law firm is not limited to just monitoring or removing published information but also extends to maintaining an individual’s anonymity. Sensitive information can be found in public registers such as the German land register (Grundbuch), the commercial register (Handelsregister) and the transparency and registration register. Our concern is to specifically restrict the public disclosure of this information within what is legally permissible. Special legal expertise is required to avoid the threat of fines and penalties in the event of a breach of reporting and disclosure obligations.
