Defamation

Experienced business and personal defamation lawyers

A hard-earned business or personal reputation can be destroyed if others write or say false things about you, but prompt legal action can limit or prevent lasting damage.

Our specialists are experts in taking action in cases of defamation and malicious falsehood, including statements made online.

If you fear someone is going to publish false information about you or your business, we can guide you through a range of options to prevent it, such as issuing pre-publication guidance or pursuing an injunction in the courts.

Where a statement has already been published, either in writing or verbally, your options for redress are time-limited and urgent advice should be sought to protect your rights.

We will work closely with you to understand and plan the best course of action in circumstances where a potentially defamatory statement has been made. For instance, for the statement to be removed, clarified or retracted as soon as possible.

Our defamation lawyers are exceptionally experienced in this area of law, and we will thoroughly discuss the options in your specific case and your likely chances of success if the case goes to court.

Pursuing or defending defamation claims through the courts can be expensive, so together we can consider a range of alternative means to resolve these disputes.

If you are anxious about a potential or actual defamatory statement concerning you or your business, or if someone is claiming that you have defamed them, call our team as soon as possible. We have offices in St Albans, Harpenden and Luton.
