Taylor Hampton Solicitors is a multi-award winning and innovative media law firm situated in the heart of legal London. With over a decade of expertise in media law, we have been instrumental in shaping the media legal landscape in the UK.
Our exceptional achievements include acting for Claimants in landmark cases which led to the enactment by Parliament of the “serious harm to reputation” test in the Defamation Act 2013, as well as the pivotal 2019 case of Lachaux v Independent Newspapers in the Supreme Court. This case established the principle that serious harm to reputation should be assessed by reference to the impact that the statement is actually shown to have had. In the realm of privacy law, the firm was involved in the case of Gulati v MGN, which led to hugely increased awards of damages in privacy lawsuits.
Taylor Hampton has also been at the forefront of the phone hacking litigation against News Group Newspapers. This led to the closure of the News of the World newspaper, the initiation of the Leveson Inquiry and the blocking of News Corporation’s takeover bid for BSkyB. Additionally, Taylor Hampton played a key role in initiating class actions against Mirror Group Newspapers.

I am so glad I had you as a team to represent me and I have no doubt you are the reason I felt it was worth taking on such big corporations, when actually it frightened the life out of me.
