Defamatory and false statements can cause a range of different problems. From reputational damage and financial issues to anxiety and worry, the consequences of defamation are serious.
In today’s digital world, these issues often take the form of online attacks, false rumours, smear campaigns by business rivals or negative media coverage. Unless addressed, defamation can cause lasting problems.

How We Can Help
Our defamation lawyers provide fast and clear advice when you are the subject of adverse interest or attacks on your reputation.
These days a well-established personal or professional reputation can be damaged in seconds by a single internet posting or video, especially if it attracts attention from publishers or influencers. If you have been defamed, we can talk through the situation with you and explain potential options.
If you have been approached by a journalist or reporter and are facing a potentially damaging or defamatory article or broadcast, it is important not to panic or feel pressured to respond. Instructing our specialist team will put up a protective barrier between you and the media outlet. We will advise you on the full range of options, including how best to respond and, potentially, legal action you may wish to take.
If false or intrusive content has already appeared, we can take action to secure a retraction, an apology or, in the case of online content, have it taken down. We are also vastly experienced in bringing and defending defamation and other media law claims in the High Court and all the way up to the Court of Appeal.
We specialise in providing advice on defamation issues in times of crisis. We can help to stop or repair the reputational damage, whether it is through correspondence, court proceedings, regulatory complaints or negotiation. Our team of experienced defamation lawyers has a strong track record in handling confidential issues and securing significant damages, apologies, retractions and other orders to protect the rights of our clients.
