LegalVision – One Post Can Cost You: Defamation and Advertising Risks in 2026 – VIRTUAL

May 21 @ 10:30 am - 11:15 am

A single post or ad can trigger defamation claims, ACCC action, and reputational damage that’s difficult and costly for your business to undo. Understanding where the legal lines are before you click is far cheaper than dealing with the consequences after.

To help you protect your business from these risks, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on One Post Can Cost You: Defamation and Advertising Risks in 2026.

Join us on Thursday, 21 May, when Charlotte Hale (Practice Leader) will discuss:

  • defamation, covering what content can get you into legal trouble, who can take action including competitors, ways you can defend what you said, and the possible outcomes;
  • misleading or deceptive conduct under the ACL, covering false or misleading claims, limits on comparing your business to others, when you might be able to justify what you said, and what regulators can do; and
  • practical consequences, including platform takedowns, account bans, reputational harm, loss of customer trust, and a lasting digital footprint.
