Defamation/Reputation Management

Julian Pike serves as head of Farrer's reputation management practice. He is regularly instructed to advise high-profile individuals and organisations on defamation, privacy and harassment claims.

Julian is a great adviser and top person.

Thomas Rudkin has a broad practice in defamation and reputation management, acting for individuals and organisations on both the defendant and claimant sides of claims.

He is a rising star who I can always rely on.

He is a highly commercial and talented adviser. He is particularly strong at navigating complex reputational crises.

Thomas frames advice in a very helpful way. He is able to get to the root of a problem and understand what the right solution is very quickly.

Athalie Matthews is a former national newspaper journalist who brings this perspective to her work on sensitive pre-publication matters. She is also an expert on social media offences and securing the takedown of unlawful content from major platforms.

I am very happy and grateful for Athalie’s support on my case. She is a highly competent lawyer and her strategic and empowered thinking is highly commendable.

Athalie is a pleasure to work with. She provides clear and robust advice and is a safe pair of hands for high-profile work.
