Hello...
Now that you've arrived, let me introduce myself and this site.
I practised law for over 34 years at CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), for most of that time as Senior Legal Counsel. Since August 1, 2012, I'm in my own independent law practice. I focus on Free Expression, Media and Entertainment law.
I provide pre-publication advice to documentary, reality, and comedy producers, news organizations, authors, journalists, and communications professionals, including pre-clearance advice to secure errors and omissions insurance. I also provide corporate and commercial advice to those creating, producing and distributing information and entertainment content in Canada.
My specific focus flows from my experience advising, contracting and troubleshooting for a large media organization producing, broadcasting and distributing entertainment, news and current affairs programming in all forms of media (print, film, broadcast and digital). The areas of law include free expression, communications, defamation, privacy, publication bans, copyright, program rights and production, sports, advertising and marketing, and public relations, to name a few.
Feel free to explore this site to see more of my background.
If you think I might be able to help you, feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Daniel J. Henry
