We have extensive experience helping clients tackle defamation and reputational issues throughout the lifecycle of a media-facing crisis in today’s digital world.
Whether arising from an investigation by a regulator, the threatened or actual publication of defamatory allegations or malicious falsehoods, the unlawful disclosure of private or confidential information, or through increased media scrutiny as a result of unexpected events, we respond quickly to get the right team in place to provide coordinated and realistic legal and strategic advice.
Backed by our pre-eminent global dispute resolution practice and a deep understanding of the often competing priorities in play when a reputation is at stake, we bring a broad commercial perspective to implementing recovery strategies.
We act for both claimants and defendants, and handle defamation instructions ranging from pre-publication advice to High Court proceedings. We also deal with applications for injunctions to restrain the misuse of confidential or private information.
