We specialise in protecting against defamation and phone hacking and safeguard privacy online to uphold our clients’ reputations at all costs to ensure our clients feel safe. We leverage our expertise to protect clients in the digital space in relation to social media, the internet and online.
Our work in the pivotal cases in defamation and privacy in the past decade has shaped the law in the UK.
We acted in the lead case that led to the enactment of the Defamation Act 2013, as well as the 2019 Supreme Court ruling. The result was that serious harm to reputation should be assessed by reference to the impact the statement actually had. In the realm of privacy law, we acted in the landmark case resulting in more than a fourfold increase in damages for misuse of private information.
Claims in which we acted led to the closure of the News of the World, the establishment of the Leveson Inquiry and the blocking of News Corporation’s takeover bid for BSkyB.
As specialists in crisis management, we are available at all times to help you through time critical situations. Our team of expert lawyers are on hand if you need urgent help, for instance, in dealing with the media. We act efficiently, quickly and with discretion.
Is a media organisation about to publish an article which is false and may destroy your reputation? Are you concerned that private information is wrongly about to be shared about you? Is a journalist outside your home and refusing to go away? Do you believe that someone is harassing or stalking you?
Our many years experience of dealing with the media means that in situations such as these we can take immediate action to stop the damage occurring.
