Mobile Phone Hacking Claims

Over the years Irwin Mitchell has acted for a large number of clients in assisting them in defamation and privacy law cases. More recently the attention has turned to the phone hacking scandal and helping individuals obtain evidence of hacking.

It is highly likely that a large number of people employed in areas such as journalism, politics, sports and entertainment etc, as well as other newsworthy individuals could have been targeted.

An example of phone hacking is when the default security PIN for your phone was never changed. Targeted parties may recall large number of calls where the caller hangs up or messages suddenly disappearing from their phone. Irwin Mitchell’s expert team of solicitors will work with you to seek evidence of hacking, and then work on the best course of action if such activity is discovered.
