Media and Reputational Management

Back to Commercial Dispute Resolution & Avoidance

Our commercial dispute resolution and avoidance specialists understand that increasingly both people and their businesses have an online presence and the use of social media has become more prevalent in the commercial sphere. Whilst marketing your business online may be considered essential by many today, unfortunately there is a negative aspect to this in that it is now easier to locate information or make false statements where they can be seen by the world.

Our specialists are able to advise you of your potential courses of action if you discover that your reputation is being damaged by false statements (whether online or otherwise). We are experts on the law of defamation, both in its written form (known as libel) or spoken form (known as slander). We are able to provide prompt and clear legal advice on the options available to safeguard your or your business’s reputation.

Our team has experience in preparing media statements and advising on positive PR campaigns in an effort to take back control of negative news stories or to take steps to mitigate threats to publish private information. Where appropriate, we are also able to advise you on the civil law aspects of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

Additionally, we are able to support you in the following ways:

Advising you pre and post publication on defamatory statements
Advising on malicious falsehood
Reputation management
Applying for or responding to applications for injunctions
Advising you in relation to confidential information
Civil harassment
