Sensitive employment matters attract unwelcome media attention.

High-profile dismissals or discrimination cases may do a lot of damage to a business. Misinformation can breed if aggrieved employees or ex-employees talk to the press or post information on the Internet. When the Internet is involved, information anywhere is information everywhere, so a speedy response to stem the flow is essential.

We have acted for many years both for and against the media, in cutting-edge cases involving a broad spectrum of reputation issues, from defamation and malicious falsehood to harassment and privacy and confidentiality.

With an in-depth knowledge of media strategies we work towards negotiating successful outcomes or taking prompt court action if necessary.
