The first step is a detailed review of the disputed publication. We will discuss the aim, addressee and cost of a procedure with you. The request should contain the full content; individual sentences removed from the context are often insufficient.

Image & publication

We check the publication context, possible consent and other legal bases for use.

02

private information

Publications from the personal sphere depend on content, origin and context. We are evaluating the intervention and the available response options.

Digital manipulation

In the case of fake profiles, manipulated images or attributed statements, we classify the evidence, responsible persons and potential claims.

Individuals whose image, private information or identity is affected

Photographs from my private life have been published. Can you review their use?

We examine the photographs, their origin, any consent and the publication context. Freedom of expression under Article 5(1) of the German Basic Law, its limits and protection of private life are assessed together in the specific case.

Review publication of private photographs

A manipulated profile or image is being attributed to me. Can you help?

We review the documented material, its distribution and those identifiable as responsible. Original files, links and platform notices help preserve evidence and assess possible steps.

Media report dated 25 July 2025

Creator litigation before the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court

LTO identifies Dr. Nik Sarafi as counsel for the defendant streamer in case 16 U 80/24. According to the court's press release, freedom of expression under Article 5(1) of the German Basic Law was balanced against personality rights: some statements remained permissible, while others were prohibited. The competition law claims were unsuccessful in this case.

Report and counsel's statement on LTO

The reports concern the proceedings identified and their status at the time. Outcomes cannot be applied to other cases without examining the circumstances.
