We are a proactive firm and we are pioneering changes in the field of media law and privacy law. We secured a landmark ruling in 2004 in a claim on behalf of supermodel Naomi Campbell against the Daily Mirror newspaper. The ruling created a right of personal privacy in England for the first time.
We have since been responsible for developing the law of privacy still further. For example, in 2008 we won a major privacy case in the Court of Appeal for the son of JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. The case effectively established a law of privacy for children whose parents wish to protect them from intrusive photography by paparazzi. We continue to lead the way in pioneering change.
When appropriate, we help clients avoid harassment and protect their privacy by quickly obtaining injunctions to prevent private information from being published. Clients also come to us after private information has been unlawfully published, so that we can prevent or limit the spread of the information.
