Amba M. Datta
Amba’s practice involves defending media clients against newsgathering and content-related claims, obtaining access to court and government records, and defending reporters against subpoenas.

In law school, Amba worked at the Silha Center for Media Ethics & Law, where she authored articles on new developments in First Amendment and media law issues for the Center’s research newsletter.

Prior to law school, Amba was a middle school English teacher in Washington, DC. She began her legal career as an associate in the Government Contracts practice at Dickstein Shapiro LLP, where she focused on dispute resolution for government contractors, including bid protests before the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

Notable Representations

Snyder v. Creative Loafing, Inc. (D.C. Super. 2011). Amba and a team of LSKS attorneys successfully defended Washington City Paper in a defamation action filed by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder over a profile titled “The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder.” After City Paper filed its motion to dismiss invoking the District of Columbia’s then-brand new anti-SLAPP statute, Snyder voluntarily dismissed his lawsuit.
