Defamation and Privacy

Whether you are a business trading on a reputation, a public figure living in the limelight or a private individual seeking privacy, reputations can be made or harmed in the public arena and private lives invaded.

We provide assistance to a range of businesses and individuals including authors, publishers, newspapers, TV producers and broadcasters and provide practical pre-publication and pre-transmission advice to minimise risk of claims and offer advice where claims have arisen. Where individuals seek to retain a level of privacy in their lives we can advise in relation to how this can be best preserved and what to do where there has been an unwelcome intrusion.

Specific areas:

  • Defamation
  • Privacy
  • Breach of confidence
