We pride ourselves on listening to our clients’ personal and/or commercial objectives and ensuring that these objectives are met at every stage of our instructions.

Crisis Management
We are available at all times of the day to help you through time critical situations. Whether that be the threat of an imminent publication, something already published, or the discovery that someone has invaded your privacy, we are poised to take control and protect your position.
Leveraging our longstanding expertise in the media sector and experience working with the Press, we’ve built strong connections with editors and legal teams at top organisations across the UK and beyond. This allows us to address urgent matters with speed and precision. We have a proven track record of securing urgent injunctions to prevent the release of sensitive information and freeze funds worldwide.
Depending on the specifics of each case, our approach may involve drafting correspondence to journalists, notifying the Media of factual inaccuracies and the potential for legal action, or seeking injunctions to halt publication. We also work closely with PR teams to manage both internal and external communications.
