How to Fight Digital Disparagement

Leila Narvid & Lori Teranishi

As any manager knows, letting employees go is never easy. The process becomes much more difficult when an angry former employee seeks to damage the company's reputation by launching a public campaign of disparaging remarks online and in the media.

On May 14, Warner Bros. sued Marc Toberoff, the lawyer for the comic icon's co-creators' families, in federal court in Los Angeles, accusing him of engaging in a "scheme" to "enrich himself" by trying to wrongfully seize control of a substantial chunk of the Superman property.
