Reputation Management
Our Reputation Management Group specialises in all aspects of media law including defamation (libel and slander); protection of privacy and breach of confidence. We act for those who find themselves subject to potential adverse comment in the media. We also act for publishers. We combine legal strategy and astute commercial advice.
We are available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week so that we can provide expert pre-publication assistance to those intending to publish potentially contentious material or post-publication or broadcast advice to those who fear that their privacy may have been invaded. We advise in relation to all publications including traditional broadcast and print media and the internet.
We have protected our clients' reputations for years. The advice given is both legal and strategic and the value to the client lies in the group's ability to provide calm counsel.
For further information about our services or to discuss a particular matter or situation, please contact James Libson on +44 (0)20 7440 7132 or by email.
