Media and Communications Law
Defamation
Defamation
In today’s interconnected world, reputations that have taken years to establish can be damaged within minutes by a few mouse-clicks. Defamatory publications can not only be costly, in terms of loss of revenue/employment opportunity, but can also cause considerable distress and embarrassment. It is therefore vital to act quickly before a damaging publication spreads. As experts in English libel law, our defamation solicitors are well-versed to help.

Harassment is a "course of conduct" which causes the victim(s) to suffer alarm, anxiety and/or distress. It is behaviour which – taken as a whole - is oppressive, rather than simply annoying or irritating.
