This area covers the law and procedure for claims and defenses arising from harm to reputation caused by publication in print, online or broadcast media, including libel and defamation. A solicitor in defamation and media drafts statements of case, coordinates disclosure and witness evidence, negotiates settlements, and may apply for interim relief or represent clients in the High Court, county court or other civil forums. The work balances freedom of expression with protection of reputation, guided by the Defamation Act 2013, the Civil Procedure Rules and related media orders. Clients range from individuals and businesses to public bodies, often involving complex factual and expert testimony about publication, harm and causation.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor handles the provisions, procedures and interactions that drive defamation actions: pleadings, disclosure, evidence from witnesses and experts, publication records, and the strategic choices that shape whether a claim proceeds to trial or resolves on terms. They manage timetables, court hearings, and any protective orders to safeguard client position and ensure fair adjudication of reputation harms.
