Our litigation team has a long history of working with clients in order to protect their valuable reputations. We assist them in a wide variety of circumstances. Our aim is to prevent the publication of defamatory or private information. Where we are instructed after the event, we can advise in relation to available remedies.
We act regularly for companies that need to defend their reputations from adverse media coverage and rival businesses, ex-employees, pressure groups and others disseminating damaging material.
At the pre-publication/broadcast stage, our aim is to negotiate the contents of the article or programme with the editor to protect our client's reputation. Where a breach of privacy or confidentiality is about to take place, we may be able to obtain an emergency injunction to prevent publication altogether, even where the client is in the public eye.

When we are instructed after the article has been published or programme has been broadcast, our aim is to curtail the damage and to obtain prompt corrections, apologies and damages from the media. If necessary, we will instigate High Court proceedings for defamation, malicious falsehood, breach of privacy or confidentiality, or seek redress from the media regulators, OFCOM and the Press Complaints Commission. These days internet publication is an additional risk area emphasising the need to act fast.
