Defamation

What do you do if your reputation is under threat from someone making a malicious, negative or disparaging claim about your business? Are you worried it could lead to long-term damage or potentially worse?

A good hard-earned reputation can take years to build, but only a moment to suffer the consequences of defamation. How do you go about protecting your business and getting back on track?

At Stephens Scown, we can provide practical and cost-effective advice on all aspects of complex defamation law (libel and slander) and the best way for you to pursue a claim, whether that’s by getting an apology and retraction or securing damages.
