Defamation

A market leading team

Our longstanding defamation practice is highly regarded in the market for its strategic advice. We have acted as lead strategic advisors to both traditional and social media organisations. We have systems in place to manage defamation and other publication-related litigation in a highly effective and cost efficient manner. Our partners are involved at an early stage to exercise the judgment necessary to identify which matters should be brought, settled or defended, and our lawyers have sufficient systems in place to do the majority of the work in a highly cost effective way.

Our lead partners have led industry initiatives in law reform and managed test cases for industry.

A broad range of experience

Our defamation lawyers are also trained and accredited mediators and can assist clients to successfully resolve disputes by processes such as mediation, arbitration or expert determination processes.
