Cease and Desist Letters and Pre-Publication Review

Law Tram’s Defamation Law Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Stop Defamatory Content or Avoid Publishing It in the First Place

When damaging statements are published, every minute counts. A cease and desist letter is often the first step to stopping further harm, demanding the removal of defamatory content, and preserving your rights to claim damages later.

Similarly, businesses, journalists, and individuals planning to publish potentially sensitive material can request a pre-publication review from a defamation lawyer to identify risks before content goes public.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who understand how to act quickly whether you need urgent action to take down defamatory material or preventive review to reduce future exposure.
