David C. Henderson, a partner in Nutter’s Litigation Department and a member of the firm’s Labor, Employment and Benefits practice group, outlined employee defamation claims in Nutter Insights. David discussed what exactly is a claim of defamation; if the actionable statement has to be written; whether the “truth” of what is communicated is always a defense; the extent of potential liability for defamation in the workplace; and what factors could cause an employer to lose its conditional privilege against defamation.
