Protecting Reputation Through Defamation Law

Frequently Asked Questions

Under English law, defamation involves a false statement published to a third party that harms a person’s or business’s reputation. In London, online or print communications can qualify. Aldwych Legal’s defamation experts assess publication, falsity, and harm.
Yes. If a false online post injures your reputation, you can pursue a defamation claim. Aldwych Legal assesses platform, readership, and reach, plus whether the publication is defamatory or protected by moderation or opinion. We handle cross-border online defamation.
Remedies include damages for suffered loss, an order retracting or correcting the statement, and an injunction to prevent further publication. In urgent cases, Aldwych Legal pursues interim relief to halt defamation while litigation proceeds.
Time limits in England and Wales are typically one year from publication to start a claim, subject to extension in complex cases. Aldwych Legal reviews each publication date and considers ongoing or repeated defamatory posts.
Content removal orders are obtained by applying to the court or the platform, depending on jurisdiction. Aldwych Legal guides you through evidence gathering, evidence chains, and the likelihood of success in securing removal or blocking further publication.
London defamation work often requires senior-led collaboration between defamation solicitors and defamation barristers. Aldwych Legal coordinates strategy, instructing a barrister for pleadings and hearings while keeping you fully informed and involved.

The reputation management solicitors we work with help repair public perception after defamatory events, with statements, monitoring, and strategic comms. Aldwych Legal coordinates with our media defamation lawyers to limit continuing harm while pursuing legal remedies.

Gather copies of statements, publication dates, platform links, audience reach, and any damages or harm evidence. Aldwych Legal provides checklists and early guidance, focusing on actionable steps to protect your reputation and strengthen your case.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status. For full details of our regulatory status and operating framework, please refer to our Legal Services Act 2007 page and our Terms & Conditions.
