Defamation and Privacy
Our Defamation and Privacy practice goes beyond traditional newspaper and other print publishing work and includes digital media, advertising and corporate reputation management issues.
Clients of the practice may be facing challenges such as: obtaining prompt pre-publication/ broadcast advice; avoiding costly and time-consuming litigation; where appropriate, robustly defending claims, particularly complex claims that require detailed analysis and investigation; engaging with user-generated content, and ensuring that their business stays at the forefront of the digital economy while minimising the risk of liability.
The team possesses outstanding industry insight and cutting-edge technical expertise. We assist clients in making the most of the latest developments in technology and communications, such as mobile and social media platforms.
Taylor Wessing is considered a market leader in advising on digital content. We advise on whether to moderate content, how to set up and operate user generated content and social media sites, and how to deal with complaints and implement "take down" procedures.
