Our work
Publishing content, particularly online or on social media, can be a legal minefield and is one which is relatively new. Our experts can advise business owners on how to avoid the pitfalls and risks associated with defamation and privacy, advising on issues including:
- The Defamation Act 2013
- Libel
- Slander
- Defending an action
- Settling disputes
- Repairing damage to reputation
- Apologies
- Seeking damages
- Social media policies
We can also advise on rights of privacy under the Human Rights Act, which is an emerging area of the law.
