LAWHIVE ASSOCIATES

We provide a range of reputation management legal services, tailored to our clients’ requirements in order to best protect their reputations, privacy and confidentiality.

Much of our work is pre-publication and we are experienced in operating quickly and flexibly when there is an imminent media crisis. We are also skilled in acting swiftly post-publication to seek retractions, corrections, apologies and compensation.

Litigation is usually a last resort and many of our clients prefer to manage their reputations to avoid the need for it. Where litigation is necessary, we have significant expertise in High Court proceedings for defamation and misuse of private information/ breach of confidence, and in obtaining injunctions in suitable cases.

Our clients include high-profile individuals and celebrities and companies and their directors and officers. We also provide clear, practical advice to publishers and digital media clients on minimising their risk of exposure to defamation, misuse of private information and breach of confidence claims, and to develop best practice guidelines and swiftly resolve any claims that may arise.

Our services include:

• Pre-publication advice
• Advice on harassment by journalists and photographers
• Pre-publication copy clearance
• Post-publication advice
• High Court proceedings
• Applying for injunctions when appropriate
