defamation

If you or your business have been the victim of libel (written defamation), or slander (spoken defamation), our experienced solicitors can advise you on how to take action.

If you wish to bring an action for libel, the accusation or allegations must have been made in writing - to a party or parties other than yourself. This could be in a group email or letter for example. If these defamatory comments have been 'published' and you believe they have damaged your reputation, you may have a case.

Whether you pursue a settlement without the need for court action or want to take the litigation route, our expert solicitors will be there to advise and negotiate in your best interest. We can help you to secure financial compensation or an apology.

We also advise organisations and individuals who have been accused of defaming someone else, whether through written or oral publication. We can also provide you with 'pre-publication advice', to protect you from any defamation challenges in the future.

We provide practical, well founded legal advice, which takes into account the sensitivities of the situation.
