Westlaw tips for associates

MEDIAWORLD: Will my advertisement or film cause me trouble overseas?
Q: One of our clients plans to run advertisements in China and wants to know what types of legal obstacles he might face. Another client wants to make a film in Israel but is concerned the film may offend certain groups. Is there a way to determine the legal risks of conducting media business in particular foreign countries?
A: One fast way is to use the Media, Advertising, and Entertainment Law Throughout the World database (
MEDIAWORLD), recently released on Westlaw. MEDIAWORLD contains easy-to-read summaries of all aspects of media law (including defamation, where applicable) in more than 30 countries. Each chapter is country-specific, so you can quickly retrieve a summary of the defamation law of a specific country (e.g., China or Israel) by using the Table of Contents service. In the alternative, you can search MEDIAWORLD using the Terms and Connectors or Natural Language search method.
