URGENT ACTION TO STOP FURTHER HARM
We act swiftly to assess the defamatory material, gather supporting evidence and determine the best course of action. In serious cases, we may issue a concerns notice, demand an immediate takedown or apply for an injunction to stop further distribution of the content.
DEFENDING DEFAMATION ALLEGATIONS
We also represent clients accused of defamation. If you are facing a claim, we assess your available defences, including truth, honest opinion or qualified privilege, and act to protect your rights and reputation.
ANONYMOUS DEFAMATION INVESTIGATIONS
In cases where defamatory content is posted anonymously, we can assist in identifying the publisher through legal avenues such as preliminary discovery or subpoenas to online platforms. Once identified, we take appropriate legal steps to seek removal and compensation.
COMMENCING DEFAMATION PROCEEDINGS
If the publisher refuses to apologise, retract or resolve the issue, we can initiate court proceedings on your behalf. Our litigation lawyers act in both individual and business defamation cases, including against online platforms, publishers, competitors and individuals.
COMPETITORS MAKING MISLEADING CLAIMS
If a rival business is publishing false statements about your products, services or staff, we assess whether this conduct amounts to defamation, injurious falsehood or misleading conduct under the Australian Consumer Law. We take targeted legal action to protect your goodwill and client relationships.
DEFAMATION IN PRE PUBLICATION DISPUTES
We regularly assist professionals, public figures, executives and businesses who have been contacted for comment by journalists or bloggers ahead of a damaging article. We intervene early, assess the draft content, and send concerns notices or legal responses designed to dissuade publication altogether.
ISSUING CONCERNS NOTICE
Before commencing court proceedings, a concerns notice is usually required under the Defamation Act. This formal document outlines the defamatory matter, the imputations it carries, and the harm caused. We prepare and serve concerns notices designed to prompt early resolution or position your case strongly for litigation.
PROTECTING YOUR BRAND AND REPUTATION
Whether it involves a disgruntled former employee, a competitor making false claims, or a customer posting a misleading review, reputational damage can have lasting consequences. We help you identify the source of defamation, gather evidence and take steps to limit further harm.
MEDIA THREATS & SOCIAL MEDIA LEAKS
If someone threatens to “go public” or spread damaging statements online, we can respond quickly with legal correspondence that clarifies your rights, outlines the risks to them, and demands restraint. This often prevents escalation and avoids the need for costly litigation.
