We live in a world obsessed with celebrity. Celebrity can be a double edged sword, bringing both huge rewards as well as provoking negative and distressing media attention. Whether you love or hate it, or whether you love and hate it, one thing is certain: it needs to be controlled and managed properly.
And it is not just ‘celebrities’ who get bitten: businessmen and women; professional classes; trade associations; public servants & entrepreneurs; the police and members of the armed services; the large institution and the family firm can all find themselves under the media spotlight.
The media’s feeding frenzy increases day by day. Companies and individuals may suffer the attentions of disgruntled ex-employees or former lovers. In such cases what is required is speedy protection from unwanted disclosure. At Steeles Law, we are equipped to minimise the damage that such attacks can cause and avoid the pitfalls that trap the unwary.
We provide a bespoke service to these clients to whom it is vitally important that their good name and reputation is carefully protected
from harm. Our expertise is in:
- defamation claims and injunctive proceedings
- publicity crisis management
- breach of confidence and restrictive covenant issues
- preservation and exploitation of intellectual property rights
- image rights
- sponsorship and product endorsement
- contractual negotiations and agreements.
