Defamation & Privacy
In recent years the team has expanded their client base and expertise into the broader areas of new media and the Internet. With the rapid increase in user generated content online and the proliferation of both corporate and personalised blogs and updates, the team’s expertise in this area is becoming more relevant in the protection of corporate and individual reputations and brand management.
The Team also carry out extensive pre-publication advice for clients covering issues such as contempt as well as defamation and copyright.
