Reputation and Risk Management
Your reputation as a business and as a professional is one of your strongest assets. We’ll help you protect it.
Safeguarding your good standing.
In today’s digital world, the risk of misinformation, fake reviews or malicious activity damaging your reputation is heightened and increasingly common.
Our lawyers can advise and assist you in navigating the complexities of defamation and privacy law in the UK, if your good standing comes under threat. Whether you need to remove defamatory content, defend false allegations or mitigate the impact of negative publicity, we can help to safeguard your public image and business reputation.
We understand the importance of acting quickly and decisively in these matters. Our approach often involves strategic advice prior to pursuing proceedings. For example, this may include securing an injunction to prevent the misuse of private information or stop the spread of fake allegations, and challenges to defamatory content or harassing behaviour.

The “very tough and streetwise” Philip Jones garners praise as a practitioner who is “highly experienced in commercial litigation” and is “not afraid to give robust advice to clients.” He is most noted for his handling of contentious insolvency matters.

I should also mention that the judge paid tribute to the well prepared case on both sides. Although it was a team effort, I do think significant praise should be afforded to Lucy Emanuel; who has performed excellently on a very complicated matter
