Representing claimants and defendants in defamation and slander claims.
Representing victims of defamation in vindicating their rights, alongside defending those sued under this cause of action. We handle harmful publications on social media, in the press and within employment and business relations, working to obtain compensation, an apology and removal of the publication. Each case is examined in depth, balancing the right to reputation against freedom of expression.
When clients come to us

How the process works
- 01
Preliminary review of the publication
Reviewing the content, context and degree of harm — whether it may arguably amount to defamation, subject to legal review and the balance with freedom of expression.
- 02
Considering a warning letter
Sometimes an orderly letter may lead to removal, correction or an apology — per the circumstances.
- 03
Forming a strategy
Choosing between an approach, negotiation or filing a claim — according to the evidence and the goal.
- 04
Conducting the proceeding
Representation in a claim or in defense, up to a settlement or judgment. None of this is a promise of removal, apology or compensation.
