Athalie is highly experienced in all aspects of the law surrounding reputation management, particularly from a claimant perspective.
Athalie protects individuals, companies and charities from a variety of reputational threats, such as hostile or intrusive media inquiries, damaging social media posts or threats from stalkers or blackmailers.
Where appropriate, her swift and robust intervention in communications with editors and journalists can prevent inaccurate, damaging or private information from hitting the headlines.
She can also defend clients from oppressive behaviour, where appropriate seeking anti-harassment injunctions.
Where material has already been published or broadcast, Athalie provides a clear understanding of the legal position and the benefits and risks of taking action.
In appropriate circumstances she can secure prompt removal of unlawful material before further harm is caused.
Athalie also reviews material for defendant publishers, campaign groups, bloggers and authors before it is published, and assists them in defending any subsequent complaints.
