Litigation Support

Melanie Riley is a co-founder and director of Bell Yard Communications. She is instructed by corporate clients, law firms, barristers' chambers, charities and high net worth individuals in disputes ranging from white-collar crime to matrimonial matters. "She's very familiar with the dynamic of how litigation works and the role of PR in that," says an interviewee, while another source adds: "She is incredibly responsive and quick to pick up on particular issues. She plays a really calm hand and can summarise or process matters within a few minutes with a positive spin."
