About
Provided by Payne Hicks Beach LLP
Payne Hicks Beach guards our clients’ rights and reputations through our extensive experience in the laws of defamation, privacy, data protection, cyber, breach of confidence and harassment.
Our lawyers have been involved in ground-breaking cases and have established some of the most significant developments in this area. We know how the media works and the importance of moving quickly to protect our clients.
We act for high net worth and ultra high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs, company owners and directors on cases that encompass a wide range of circumstances and situations. We stop and shape stories before publication and broadcast to remove false allegations and private and confidential information through negotiation, court action and securing injunctions when necessary. We represent clients in High Court litigation and we have worked in a number of leading cases in defamation, privacy, breach of confidence, phone-hacking, data theft and cyber-crime.
We limit unfair damage to reputation by preventing the further spread of allegations and information, removing false or private information from the internet and tracking down anonymous posters including on social media. We also protect those who are being harassed, stalked or blackmailed and who are the victims of data breaches and cyber-crime.
We act discretely and sensitively to understand the issues clients face and solve them as quickly as possible.
