Reputation Management
Entrepreneurial business owners should take steps to protect their business’ reputation including:
- Regularly monitoring the business’ online presence, including social media accounts, review sites, and news articles.
- Responding professionally and promptly to negative feedback by addressing the issue and attempting to resolve the matter privately.
- Creating and implementing a crisis communication plan to deal with a potential crisis. This includes identifying key stakeholders, having a clear message, and responding quickly.
- Training employees on the importance of maintaining a positive reputation and providing them with the tools they need to represent the business in a positive manner.
If the above steps cannot resolve an issue, Trimboli and Prusinowski’s attorneys can assist business owners with reputation management and defamation by:
- Analyzing the statements to determine whether they constitute defamation, which is a false statement that harms the reputation of a person or business.
- Drafting cease and desist letters to the person or entity making the false statements. These letters demand that they rescind statements already made, stop making additional false statements about the business or face legal action.
- Representing the business in legal proceedings and arguing their case in front of a judge or jury.
- Working with online platforms and attempting to have the defamatory content removed. For example, if the false statements are being made on social media, some platforms may be willing to assist with having the content removed.
- Providing guidance on reputation management to help the business rebuild its reputation after being defamed.
Protecting a business’s reputation requires a proactive approach that involves monitoring their online presence, responding to negative feedback, maintaining transparency, having a crisis communication plan, training employees, protecting intellectual property, and seeking legal assistance – Trimboli and Prusinowski provides this support.
