Attorneys Sarah Sawyer and Russell Berger of Offit Kurman discuss online reputation and the law in the context of reviews on platforms like Nextdoor, Glassdoor, Google Reviews, and Yelp. They explain that clients often want a quick cease-and-desist response, but that is not always the best answer. They emphasize setting clear goals, weighing cost and practicality of litigation, and considering how the reviewer might react to legal pressure versus being ignored.
