Reputation Management

If your reputation has been damaged by libel or slander, we can help you pursue a defamation claim to seek compensation or a public retraction. Alternatively, if you have been accused of making defamatory statements, we can defend you by assessing the claims and guiding you on the best course of action.

Cease and Desist Letters, Undertakings, and Representation in Court Proceedings

In many cases, defamation issues can be resolved without the need for lengthy court battles. We can draft and send cease and desist letters to halt defamatory behaviour at an early stage. If further legal action is necessary, we can secure legally binding undertakings or represent you in court proceedings to protect your interests.
