Online content spreads instantly and globally but legal rights differ between countries. Many Australians discover that defamatory material posted overseas or shared online can still cause serious harm at home.
Australian courts have jurisdiction over defamation claims if the material was accessed, downloaded, or caused reputational damage in Australia, even if it was published elsewhere. However, identifying publishers, enforcing judgments, and managing cross-border laws can be complex.
Law Tram connects you with lawyers experienced in internet and international defamation who can help you understand where to bring your claim, how to identify responsible parties, and what remedies may be available.
Start by completing our secure online questionnaire. This step allows you to provide essential details about the online content and where it has been published or accessed.
Law Tram’s advanced technology generates a confidential legal summary of your matter while keeping your personal details private.
Your confidential legal summary is shared with our network of vetted lawyers who review your case to determine how they can assist.
If a lawyer believes they can help, they will initiate a chat with you through the Law Tram platform. Your contact details remain private unless you choose to share them.
You are under no pressure to retain any lawyer unless you are confident in their ability to assist. Law Tram empowers you to make informed decisions.
