We are experienced in representing national and regional newspapers, book and magazine publishers and their insurers, across all forms of media including the Internet.
We provide practical and pragmatic pre-publication advice to minimise the risk of claims arising, but where a claim is made we are noted for providing robust advice.
We have extensive experience of all aspects of publishing law, including privacy and breach of confidence claims, and are most highly regarded for our "great quality" practice, mostly for defendants, and one which boasts an "impressive media, insurance and private client base" (Chambers). Caroline Kean was one of the first individuals to be described as an expert in this field and has continued to be identified as one of the leading individuals in defamation each subsequent year.
