Reputation management

In the fast-changing society that we all, from individuals through to multinational corporations, inhabit hard-earned reputations can be seriously damaged through the spread of misinformation. The increased presence of the online world and use of digital media has made this far easier to do, whether inadvertently or intentionally. 

We understand that while it can take years to build a reputation, it can only take a few moments for it to be lost or damaged. Our dedicated reputation management lawyers work with individuals and businesses to proactively protect and manage their reputations, and provide effective, rapid response solutions when issues or threats arise.

Our specialist reputation management team has decades of combined experience in providing advice to protect the reputations of high-profile individuals, private families, charities and businesses, including multinational corporate entities. We combine technical legal expertise with strategic acumen to identify and mitigate our clients’ day-to-day reputational risks. In times of crisis, whatever the matter at hand, we work alongside our clients, to rapidly provide solutions, including options for litigation and recovery of damages, where appropriate. 

We can help you with:

• brand and intellectual property protection
• brand and intellectual property infringement and enforcement
• crisis management
• data protection
• defamation (libel and slander) and false statements
• harassment
• privacy and security issues
• removal of damaging material online and take down requests
• injunctions and other forms of restrictive court orders and remedies
• damages
• media strategy and PR

We understand the risks in this area and know how to help you to proactively protect your reputation. When threats or issues arise, we work closely and seamlessly with both our associated specialist teams within the firm, as well as our established network of PR and Crisis Management agencies, to ensure your needs are fully met.

We provide pragmatic and effective resolution when needed, but where resolution is not possible, we’re equally comfortable taking matters to trial where we’ll robustly protect your interests.
