Media and advertising

The firms’ expertise in Media and Advertising includes advising on broadcasting license and license applications, protection of TV-formats, legal audits of consumer campaigns and direct marketing campaigns as well as assessment of advertisements to check compliance with regulatory requirements. The team has also been active in representing clients in disputes arising from the publication of factually incorrect information.

The firm is most widely recognised for the so called Delfi case where it advised an individual in a landmark case against Delfi, a leading Estonian internet media company, creating a precedent on whether and under what conditions a media company may be responsible for online comments of its readers linked to an article made public through the internet based news portal.
