    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 had an interview I was worried about as I had never been in a situation like that before. Sunil settled my nerves straight away and was very approachable with any questions I had. He gave me clear, professional advice to the situation and he was supportive after I followed through with what he had said. I am very thankful for the time and advice he gave me. I will definitely be using his services again if I need them! Thank you Sunil ”
