Lathrop GPM is a leader in media, entertainment and advertising law. With a client list that includes some of the Midwest’s leading newspapers, television news organizations and digital media companies operating in the borderless world of cyberspace, we understand the concerns of clients in this industry.

In addition to lawyers who focus on such media-specific issues as First Amendment protections and pre-publication/clearance review, we offer multidisciplinary capabilities in defamation, right of privacy, right of publicity, copyright and trademark law, licensing and distribution, contract law, cyberlaw, and mobile-phone marketing compliance and litigation.
