Defamation and Reputation Management Solicitors

We value our good name and know that our clients value theirs. When others publish comments that harm that good name we have the experience to take rapid, cost effective steps to stop further damage and to repair any harm done.

We are also experienced in the fast-evolving law of privacy and the protection that the law gives to private information about you.

We provide quick and effective advice on all areas affecting your reputation:

• Libel; untrue and harmful publications in writing, including electronic publications;
• Slander; untrue and harmful spoken words;
• Malicious falsehood; untrue publications designed to harm your business;
• Your right to privacy.

As well as advising those whose reputations have been harmed, we advise individuals and companies before publication with a view to minimising risk. Should you find yourself defending a defamation claim we will assist you in defending or settling the claim and, in particular, will advise you on the “offer of amends” procedure and whether defences such as justification, fair comment or qualified privilege will be open to you.

We are very conscious of the personal upset caused by hurtful and damaging words and will advise you quickly and concisely on the most appropriate strategy open to you. In appropriate cases, we may agree to represent you on a conditional fee basis, or even on a “no win no fee” basis.
