Libel, Privacy & Reputation

Corporate reputation management

The reputations of businesses and the people directing them are important business and personal assets which frequently need to be protected against investigation and attack.

A swift and proportionate response is crucial when resolving a media crisis. Our experienced media litigation lawyers can deal with all challenges in this area including journalistic investigations, breach of confidence, privacy, defamation and malicious falsehood, harassment and press intrusion, the OFCOM code (including surreptitious filming and door-stepping), internet attacks (including viral advertising), whistleblowers, use of the Press Complaints Commission and the application of the Freedom of Information and Data Protection Acts.

When it is as important to get your story across as it is to win in court, we work closely with public relations advisers to ensure that our clients' cases are advanced in the press through a media strategy aligned with appropriate and effective legal action.
