A good reputation can take many years to build but can be lost in a single online post.

Our team of specialist lawyers provide quick and to the point advice when you are subject of adverse media interest, online attacks or print allegations.

It is key not to panic when approached by a journalist planning to publish a damaging and untrue story or broadcast. The same is true when a harmful publication appears online through social media. You should not feel pressured to reply. It is important to surround yourself with a team of experts who are adept at responding at a time of crisis.

Our team is able to act rapidly to take steps to either prevent the damaging material from coming to light or remove it if it has already been published. We take a flexible approach and obtain retractions, apologies and takedowns through the Courts, negotiation and regulatory complaints. We are also experienced in robustly defending allegations of defamatory publications.

We act for a wide range of clients who value our ability to effectively and proactively manage a crisis.
