Our IP, media & technology team has a great deal of experience in advising businesses and high-profile individuals on how to deal with potentially damaging media exposure of all types. This might involve taking pre-emptive action to prevent the publication or broadcast of stories infringing a client’s privacy or confidentiality. Alternatively, we might act to obtain swift corrections, apologies and damages from the media, or redress from the media regulators, after the event. We have acted for many years both for and against the media in cutting-edge cases involving a wide range of reputation-linked issues including defamation, malicious falsehood, contempt, harassment and privacy/confidentiality.

As a consequence, we know the strategies employed by the media and are well-acquainted with their lawyers. That level of familiarity with the opposition helps the team to negotiate successful outcomes or take swift court action where necessary, often working in conjunction with the client's public relations advisers.
We act for major companies and organizations, in addition to well-known individuals based in the UK and overseas, in connection with reputation management and confidentiality matters. Among our clients are Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay and their family and businesses; we handle all of their media affairs.
