Defamation law
Every individual has the right to privacy, and the right to expect respect from others. To enforce this, defamation law has been formulated to protect the reputations of both individuals and businesses from unjustified attacks from other individuals or businesses.
Defamation takes the following forms:
- Libel
- Slander
Our network of recommended defamation solicitors has extensive experience in dealing with individuals and companies of every size including charities, books, magazine and newspaper publishers, broadcasting organisations and online publishers.
Our lawyers have expertise in dealing with defamation on the internet such as: posting or hosting defamatory statements and libellous comments made through mass emails, forums or online bulletin boards.
Because defamation actions can be very expensive, most of our recommended solicitors can represent clients on a ‘no-win, no-fee’ agreement or a CFA (Conditional Fee Agreement).
