Ronald G. London
Of Counsel
My goal is to eliminate or at least minimize governmental impacts on our clients’ speech, advertising and consumer outreach.
Ronnie London helps clients resist and challenge government intrusion on speech and to navigate the regulatory frameworks they encounter. Through litigation and compliance-counseling, Ronnie guides clients such as online and traditional media, service-providers and advertisers through strategic advice on a broad range of litigation, administrative, enforcement and legislative matters affecting the media, communications, and all aspects of consumer privacy.
He works with a wide range of companies to evaluate and address free-speech, freedom-of-information, and privacy issues, with a strategic approach geared toward practical outcomes, and where necessary, assists in risk-based decision-making. This includes bringing his constitutional and administrative law expertise to bear to defend clients from government over-reach and private suits targeting the exercise of the rights to free speech, press and expression.
