Few firms are as influential in the media world, and in 2006 Schillings twice winner of The Lawyers Niche Law Firm of the Year Award had a stormer. The firm beat the ranks of the national media when it won a last-minute injunction to stop new court rules that would have disclosed sensitive information on Schillings celebrity clientele. Schillings also branched out in its practice, protecting GlaxoSmithKline
shareholders against threats from an animal rights group by pulling off the little-used tactic of an injunction against persons unknown. The firm was in unstoppable form in the courts, winning a privacy case for Britney Spears and picking up work from English roses Kate Winslet and Keira Knightley. The judges praised the firm simply for putting their head above the parapet. On many occasions they will be representing an individual, but effectively the opposition is a whole industry.Schillings has twice been voted The Lawyers Niche Firm of the Year for our work in protecting the reputations of our corporate and individual clients. It is a testament to how all the firms staff have ontributed to growing the business that the firm has this year been selected for TMT Firm of the Year alongside some of the biggest City and international law practices.
