Anti-SLAPP Case Study: Dealing with Defamation, Business Disparagement, and Social Media (Jan 2025)
Using a recent case, explore the business disparagement claims asserted against a prosthodontist and his dental practice, and the subsequent dismissal of these claims with a Chapter 27 Anti-SLAPP Motion to Dismiss. Stemming from a series of Instagram live videos, Kenneth Wilstead a/k/a “Dr. Kenny Smiles” sued Dr. Ortiz for business disparagement and invasion of privacy. However, using publicly available information, Wilstead’s claims were rebutted by informing the court of a likely and entirely unrelated basis for why Wilstead’s business had declined: his character and practices had been called into question by certain of his current and prospective female patients.

Your Hearing/Deposition Will Be “Remote” But You Can’t Be “Distant” (Nov 2024)

She cried when her family made her give up her Blackberry. If she can take a virtual deposition, or participate in a two week contested hearing at SOAH remotely, so can you!

In addition to an in-depth market trends update, this panel will drill down with the latest cutting edge thinking on how to effectively implement an RWI deal, including negotiating the RWI policy (what to look for and try to get best terms on) and resulting drafting considerations in the purchase agreement.
