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.

“I think when getting Legal advice it can be a real mistake to go for the cheapest price! I am glad I did not do that and instructed Pool Alcock to act on my behalf in a land dispute. Everything was left to them and this resulted in winning my case - it looked like the person I was in dispute with went for the 'cheaper' Solicitor... A special mention for one of the partners Daniel Brookes who was superb from start to finish. Highly recommended..........”

“Couldn’t have found a better solicitor than Tom Ranson. Got a much higher payout by using Tom than what my old solicitor estimated! After 5 years since my accident we settled, the support I had from Ashton’s was unbelievable. Honestly cannot thank Ashton’s enough for what they have done. Highly recommended. ”

“We are delighted with the recent service we have received from Luca Angarano at Walker Foster Solicitors and all staff that have given time to our case. The level of service was professional, attentive and always with our best intentions at the heart of the care we received. Myself and my husband would thoroughly recommend Walker Foster for a litigation case (ours was a property case) without reservation. Our case wasn’t the easiest to navigate but with diligence and attention to detail, Luca managed to create a positive and successful outcome for us.”
