Defamation and Malicious Falsehood

Protecting Your Reputation From False Allegations

Whether you have been the subject of false allegations online, targeted by malicious posts on social media, or had damaging and untrue statements published about you, the impact on your personal and professional life can be severe and long-lasting. Acting quickly is essential; the longer defamatory content remains in circulation, the greater the potential for reputation damage.

As experienced false allegation solicitors, we understand how distressing these situations can be. We will assess your case honestly and advise you on the most effective steps to take, whether that is demanding a retraction, seeking an injunction to prevent further publication, or pursuing a formal claim for defamation and malicious falsehood. In some cases, mediation can offer a faster and more discreet resolution.

Defamation and Malicious Falsehood - How We Can Help

Defamation covers both libel (written or published statements) and slander (spoken statements) that are false and damaging to your reputation. Malicious falsehood is a related but distinct claim, where a false statement is made with malicious intent and causes financial loss.

Our reputation damage solicitors advise on a wide range of cases, including:

• Defamatory posts and comments on social media platforms
• False reviews published online
• Damaging statements made in emails, letters, or other publications
• Malicious falsehood claims where financial loss has resulted

Regardless of where or how the statement was made, we will work to protect your reputation and achieve the best possible outcome for your case. Where negligent advice or conduct has contributed to your situation, our professional negligence claims team may also be able to assist.
