ARROWS lawyers took action against misuse of client's name

Misuse of a client’s name on fake websites should be addressed quickly, because it can damage reputation and falsely suggest an association with content or services the client has never approved. ARROWS prepared cease-and-desist demands, quantified the harm and set a strategy for further enforcement. This article shows how personal rights can be protected online and how to prepare for both out-of-court and court action.

ARROWS lawyers team addressing misuse of client's name.

The firm's legal advice included, in particular, the preparation and sending of cease and desist letters to the responsible persons, the quantification and enforcement of claims for compensation for damages, and the setting of the overall procedural strategy. An important part of the representation was strategic advice on the protection of personal rights in the online environment and the preparation of all necessary legal documents for out-of-court and court enforcement of claims.

The case benefited from the excellent work of our team; a key role was played by Mgr. Jan Medek, who primarily specializes in disputes between shareholders and corporate litigation (transfers of shares and stocks, fair exit, squeeze-out, and equalization).

We would like to thank our colleague Jan Medek, whose expertise and precise work were key to the effective progress of the entire team.
