    Libel and defamation cover the making or publication of statements that harm a person’s reputation. A solicitor in this area handles claims and defenses in relation to written or broadcast statements, including drafting pleadings, negotiating settlements, pursuing or defending injunctions, and advising on publication issues, privacy interests, and corrective steps. The work often centres on breaches of reputation, causes of action such as libel or slander, and balancing free expression with protection from false or damaging statements.
