Stopping others destroying your name.

Talk to our ARM Team

Protect your reputation with Acuity Reputational Management.

Reputation management is an integral part of any business. What others say about you can build but also destroy your brand and business. With the increasing presence of businesses and consumers on social media, the potential audience for adverse comments is extremely large. Our experience team can provide the support and instant advice and guidance to help resolve any issues quickly and effectively.

We also have widespread experience in representing defendants to claims of libel and slander, particularly bloggers and distributors of defamatory content on social media.

Our extensive experience covers the following areas of defamation proceedings:

  • Applications for an injunction to prevent publication of adverse material either online, in print or on television/radio
  • Pre-publication negotiations and agreements
  • Claims and defences to claims under the Defamation Act 2013
  • Claims relating to the publication of third-party material
  • Claims of innocent distribution of defamatory content under the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002

We handle all types of commercial litigation for claimants and defendants, with a solution-focused approach built around you and your needs. We look at the commercial drivers relevant to you and the commercial imperatives for resolution, then work with you to determine the right line of attack.

As a resilient, confident, and dynamic team of litigators, we know when it’s in your best interests to hit hard.
