Defamation & Privacy

By: Adv. Eli Shimony

Your reputation – whether you are a private individual, an administrative agency, or a public or a private company – is an inseparable part of your property as a whole. No other person can be allowed to expropriate or harm your reputation. Your right to your privacy is also protected by law. However, many of us sometimes find ourselves in situations where our goodwill, or our privacy, is under threat.

The Israeli Book of Laws explicitly states the common cases: eavesdropping, photographing a person in his private domain, degrading distribution of a photograph, exposure of private correspondence, defamation at the workplace, using a person’s name and photograph for profit (such as an advertisement without his or her agreement), the violation of the duty of confidentiality toward him, publication of his or her confidential information such as sexual background, health or spouse information, etc.

We at Eli Shimony Israeli Law Firm, represent both plaintiffs and defendants in defamation and privacy cases in Israel. Our legal strategy consists of 3 primary components:

1. Awareness and prevention.
2. Risk management.
3. Minimizing risks and deterrence.

Our top priority is to protect your reputation and privacy. The professional team here at Eli Shimony Israeli Law Firm can offer the most effective and economic tactics to do so, for example: recommend the company to reduce risks while choosing the course of compromise, to also allow the reduction of the snowball effect of negative publicity.
