Our team advises a very broad spectrum of clients on issues affecting their reputation. Clients range from high-profile individuals and families, corporates and financial services firms, to educational, not-for-profit and sports organisations. Our clients include leaders in the worlds of entertainment and sport, business, politics, education and retail. Uniquely, we also continue to advise a small selection of publisher clients. We understand the media, making us well placed to assist our clients where the threat to their reputation is from news or media outlets.
We have extensive expertise of the legal issues that arise where clients' reputations are under threat. When needed, we draw upon our close network of third-party advisers (including communications experts, digital intelligence and investigations firms, cyber and physical security advisers and specialist barristers). We ensure that every one of our clients receives a comprehensive and bespoke service, which best protects their interests.
Our defamation lawyers and reputation management solicitors have vast experience in protecting clients' reputations, privacy and security. As well as media coverage, our experience ranges from family disputes to the removal of online content (including via the ‘right to be forgotten’), to corporate crisis planning and threats posed to individuals and organisations by challenging personnel (whether employees or otherwise) or obsessed/harassing individuals.
