The team has acted for a great variety of clients, ranging from multi-national corporates facing a television expose to an individual injuncting a book that revealed details of his personal life.
Should you find yourself the subject of media intrusion, we will support you through the process and provide clear guidance on how to proceed. We are highly experienced in dealing with all manner of news outlets – from national broadcasters and publishing houses to local newspapers.
Social Media Issues
In today’s digital landscape, reputational threats can arise from anywhere – publication online is constant, easy and often unregulated. Libel, invasion of privacy, malicious falsehood and harassment by publication are increasingly issues that face businesses and individuals. From platforms like Facebook and Instagram through messaging groups and review websites, businesses face a multitude of threats to their brand and reputation from competitors, disgruntled customers and online trolls.
Our team can quickly assess these issues as they arise and provide practical, swift solutions to mitigate the impact and avoid escalation.
