Media Law

Specialist in high profile media cases

We have a strong reputation in all aspects of Media Law.  This is a specialised area in which we have considerable experience, covering issues such as

  • Reputation Management
  • Misuse of Information
  • Privacy (including phone hacking)
  • Defamation – including libel and slander

We have been at the forefront of the allegations of phone hacking against News International and Mirror Group Newspapers, and have successfully represented a number of claimants.

We successfully represented Alan Yentob and Paul Gascoigne in claims of Phone Hacking against the Mirror Group Newspapers securing over £250,000 damages in May 2015.

We have acted for a number of high profile clients concerning their reputation, breaches of privacy, libel or slander, including sports personalities, agents and politicians.

A good reputation can take a long time to establish, but can be damaged overnight by the publication of a defamatory article.  In such a situation clear and expert advice is necessary.  We can help you protect your reputation and privacy, and where necessary or appropriate can seek pre-publication injunctions.
