What the Team is Known For
Giles George is a boutique media law firm which holds a strong reputation acting for plaintiffs in defamation litigation. The team is experienced in the handling of sensitive, high-profile defamation matters with high levels of reputational risk.
Strengths
They're very well coordinated and communicate well. They're across what's going on, across the case and always up to speed.
They are unique, elite, technical experts in the law and never miss things other lawyers miss.
Work Highlights
Giles George represented Moira Deeming in defamation proceedings against John Pesutto, which arose from statements made regarding her expulsion from the Liberal Party of Victoria.
Notable practitioners
Patrick George is based in Sydney. He has practised in the reputational risk space for over 35 years and is the author of the standard text on Australian defamation law. He is particularly well known for his representation of leading politicians, including former Commonwealth prime ministers, and of noted sporting bodies.
Rebekah Giles has gained a strong reputation for acting in high-profile defamation litigation. She is well-versed in acting for clients in privacy, corruption and fraud cases.
They handled the complexities of my case exceptionally. Without Rebekah and her team, well let's just say they are exceptional and very strategic, with the right connections.
