Notable cases
- Minc represented a client who had been wrongfully identified as having raped Lena Dunham in her 2014 memoir, Not That Kind of Girl. Dunham and the publisher of the memoir, Random House ultimately put out a statement explaining that Minc’s client was not the rapist and agreed to reprint copies of the book with the pseudonym removed.[14]
- In 2013, Minc represented a company and its owners that were slandered by ex-employees. During this representation, Minc faced an issue where the search engine Bing was not complying with court ordered removal of defamatory content and acting against their official policy.

As a result, Bing removed the defamatory content and then updated its official policy toward court ordered removal defamatory content requests.[15]
