A false statement online or in print can damage your reputation, your business and your peace of mind. We help you respond quickly and sensibly — and defend you if you've been accused of defaming someone.
Part of our Litigation & disputes practice.
Not every hurtful statement is defamatory. We tell you honestly whether you have a claim, and what it's worth.
In Australia there's a formal step before suing; a well-drafted concerns notice often resolves things without court.
If it can't be resolved, we advise on proceedings — weighing cost, publicity and your goals.
Not usually — honest opinion and truth are protected. But false statements of fact that harm your reputation can be. We'll assess it.
A formal notice generally required before you can sue for defamation. It sets out the imputations and gives the other side a chance to make amends.
Sometimes — through the platform, a correction, or as part of a settlement. We advise the most effective route.
Don't ignore a concerns notice. There are defences, and deadlines. Get advice quickly.
Book a consultation or take the free claim check — we'll tell you where you stand and what to do next.
Leave your name and number and what it's about — a lawyer will call you back. No cost, no obligation.
