Defamation, Harassment & Privacy

We help individuals and organisations resolve these issues efficiently, while managing media attention and operational impact.

We act for clients, including business leaders and high-profile individuals, across multiple sectors, advising on issues from social media harassment to national press coverage. From urgent injunctions to sustained risk management, our lawyers work alongside you as long-term partners dedicated to safeguarding your professional standing.

We can support with:

• Libel and slander claims
• Harassment prevention and injunctions
• Misuse of private information
• Crisis media and reputation management
• Pre-publication reviews and takedown requests
• Online harassment and social media monitoring

You will also benefit from proactive strategies. Our specialist team offer practical advice and work hard to protect your interests, whether they’re personal or professional. You’ll get a number of options to sort out an issue, such as:

• An apology
• A retraction
• Claiming damages
• Assurances that the offence will stop.

In some cases, we will also help you get your legal costs back from those responsible. If there is damaging material about you online, our defamation lawyers can deal directly with the website owner or the hosting service to remove the harmful content.

If an individual or group has put your reputation at risk, our lawyers can help minimise the damage to you. We will listen to you so we can get the full picture of your situation and advise on the next steps. If you need a court order immediately to stop a company or individual from harming your reputation, we can get one as quickly as possible.

We work with high profile businesses, business leaders and high net worth individuals to resolve complex defamation disputes. Our lawyers also understand you will want to avoid going to court and having your affairs made public. We will work quickly and discretely to reach an early settlement for you.

If someone has made a claim against you for defamation, we can help too. Our lawyers will work efficiently to resolve the dispute with the best possible outcome. We will also advise on how you can avoid a claim in future.
