Leathes Prior is pleased to announce the launch of its Internet Defamation and Online Reputation Management Service.
The advent of social media including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blogs, as well as the more traditional online forums, has brought with it the opportunity for exercising freedom of speech which 10 or 15 years ago could not have been imagined. Whilst much of this is legitimate expression of opinion, there have been many well publicised examples of individuals falling foul of the law and employers taking action against staff as a result of their conduct online.
Mike Barlow, Head of Dispute Resolution, comments that “it is becoming increasingly common for clients to seek our help where they find themselves the innocent victim of online bullies or trolls, often hiding behind a cloak of anonymity.”
Leathes Prior has developed two types of service for organisations, businesses and high profile individuals, designed to protect and manage your online reputation:
•An Annual Monitoring Service, providing regular alerts and ongoing support •A Fixed Fee Service for one-off cases of online defamation To find out more about this innovative new service, please visit: https://internet-defamation.property118.com/ or contact us for further information.
