Synopsis

Dubbed “the highest-profile media lawyer in America" by The Hollywood Reporter, and “Hollywood’s favorite lawyer,” by Financial Times, CHARLES HARDER tells his story for the first time. With GAWKER SLAYER, Harder takes readers on a journey of his biggest cases, including his landmark $140 million trial victory against Gawker Media on behalf of his client, Hulk Hogan. The book intertwines fascinating narrations from Harder’s 25-year career as a high-profile media and entertainment attorney, with personal stories about his life and legal career, and also commentary on the media, law and major topics of the day including media bias, journalistic ethics, and cancel culture. GAWKER SLAYER tells the stories, with personal anecdotes, of Harder’s most high-profile cases, including: • An in-depth, multi-chapter look inside the legal battle between Hulk Hogan and Gawker Media which resulted in the knockout verdict that put the company out of business. • Winning a multi-million dollar settlement, plus full retraction and apology, for First Lady Melania Trump against the Daily Mail. • Beating Stormy Daniels in two federal lawsuits, on behalf of client President Trump. • Representing Amber Heard in her divorce case against ex-husband Johnny Depp. • Representing Halle Berry in rewriting the laws to prevent paparazzi from harassing the children of celebrities. • Representing the Julia Child Foundation against Thermador for posthumously using Child’s name and image to market their products, without permission or compensation. • Representing Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon in lawsuits to protect their name and image rights. GAWKER SLAYER is about doing what’s necessary, sometimes through extraordinary measures, to protect fundamental rights, including free speech and free expression, and in the process protect individuals against the excesses of powerful media corporations, and promote responsibility and civility in society. CHARLES HARDER is a U.S. litigation and trial attorney who specializes in media law, First Amendment, defamation (libel & slander), privacy, reputation protection, entertainment, intellectual property and business litigation. Licensed to practice in California, New York and the District of Columbia, Mr. Harder is founder and managing partner of HARDER LLP (www.HarderLLP.com) based in Los Angeles, with offices in New York.
