1 REPUTATION & INFORMATION PROTECTION An overview
2 REPUTATION & INFORMATION PROTECTION Media enquiries, regulatory or police investigations, sensitive litigation, operational issues, pressure groups, aggrieved customers, disaffected employees and activist shareholders can all put at risk the reputation of a business, its brands and its directors. The ease with which confidential or commercially (or personally) sensitive information can be unlawfully obtained and/or circulated is also a growing challenge for many businesses, which now face the threats of data breaches, cyberattacks, loss of confidential information, leaks to the media, data protection disputes and Freedom of Information Act requests. Recognised specialist expertise Addleshaw Goddard is recognised as having one of the leading reputation and information protection teams in the UK. Our lawyers are consistently identified as leaders in the field by the two principal legal directories, Chambers and Legal 500. Whatever the source of the reputational threat, we provide strategic board level advice and assist with reputational risk management, for example by conducting internal investigations and reviews. We are also experienced in advising organisations and individuals on how to deal with potentially damaging exposure in the media at the pre-publication/broadcast stage, as well as during and following publication when damage needs to be prevented or mitigated, and the media persuaded to set the record straight. Usually this means working with in-house communications teams and/or external PR agencies to manage the crisis. We advise on all reputation and information protection issues, including: media crisis management defamation and malicious falsehood privacy harassment confidentiality business libel social media and online misuse of information data protection disputes freedom of information requests Information Tribunal proceedings reputational risk mitigation comparative advertising and passing off complaints to IPSO, Ofcom and ASA 'Despite heavy responsibilities for other clients, they are available at short notice. The quality of advice is high and knowledge of media organisations' in-house legal practices extensive and useful' CHAMBERS, 2016 The 'excellent' Addleshaw Goddard LLP handles claimant work for some very high-profile corporate clients LEGAL 500, 2015
3 Internet issues 'They are superb, friendly and go the extra mile' CHAMBERS, 2016 Social media and the internet generally is now a major risk area. Addleshaw Goddard has considerable experience (dating back to the UK's first internet libel case in 1995) and expertise in the protection of rights and reputation online, whether there is a one-off problem to be resolved or a requirement for an ongoing reputation protection programme. We are familiar with the way in which the internet operates, the many and varied sources of information available on it, and the many and varied ruses employed by those who seek to infringe the rights or damage the reputation of others. The internet is an ever changing and fast moving medium. Speed is often of the essence. Clearly this is often cross-border work, and we work with our international offices and with our preferred firms in other territories to harness local expertise and obtain local representation for our clients. Where necessary, we work with technical specialists to monitor such activity and to identify its source. If a full online protection programme is required, typically we would first commission an audit by a specialist online investigative service to ascertain the nature and extent of the problem. Then we would prepare a proposed strategy, including realistic commercial, PR and legal objectives and the most appropriate means of achieving them. Information protection The ease with which economically valuable or reputationally sensitive information can be stored and transmitted creates significant risk for any business. Information security issues, such as data loss, cyberattacks, or leaks to the media or a competitor, can be reputationally damaging. Mischievous and vexatious DPA and FOIA requests can waste time (and money), as well as pose a reputational threat. Even in the absence of such issues, 'Big Data' can create big litigation risk, as all sectors, but particularly retailers and financial services, seek to take advantage of the commercial opportunities created by technical advances. This is a fast moving and complex area, with competing and overlapping rights and obligations created by Article 8 privacy, data protection, freedom of information and confidentiality law trying to keep pace with the technology. Their strength is that they have a defamation practice allied to a very strong commercial litigation practice, which sits within a top firm. CHAMBERS, 2015 How AG can help Our team of lawyers is available out of hours and at weekends, to provide urgent round-theclock advice, to negotiate with the media or other interest group, and to make emergency injunction applications. An organisation with a crisis team in place is able to respond swiftly and effectively. We help our clients put in place such arrangements and provide customised training workshops to ensure that our clients legal and communications teams are up to date with current law and practice. Our aim is always to provide quick, practical and commercial advice, and to complement our clients protection of their valuable reputations. Unlike the niche media law firms, as a large full service firm, we have specialist lawyers in all areas which may be relevant to a reputational threat, on whose expertise we can quickly draw.
4 Similarly, with our own overseas offices and our proven international Preferred Firms network, we are able to take quick and effective legal action, with the assistance of local experts, wherever in the world a problem surfaces. We have successfully acted for many major organisations and companies in connection with reputational issues. We have also acted for numerous high profile individuals in business, public life, the arts, entertainment and sport. Examples of our experience Preventing publication in a Sunday newspaper of potentially highly damaging speculation about the solvency of a business in the banking sector Acting for various retailers to prevent or mitigate coverage on BBC s Watchdog Preventing and mitigating broadcast by on Panorama and Newsnight of tax avoidance allegations against a major pharmaceutical Acting for a senior Cabinet Minister in connection with the threatened dissemination of distasteful allegations Obtaining public retraction in Court of false allegations made by a disgruntled building society member Using the BBC Editorial Guidelines to mitigate adverse coverage of a major supermarket arising from undercover filming by the BBC s Whistleblower Removal of online material for a major airline in the context of an industrial relations dispute Advising on the threatened publication on a website of the home address of a bank s chief executive Mitigating/preventing adverse press coverage of a product recall for a furniture retailer Advising a major clothing retailer in relation to supply chain issues Acting against newspaper in relation to allegations concerning the private life of a CEO Preventing and mitigating threatened adverse coverage of a budget hotel chain in Which Holiday? and on BBC s Watchdog Removing defamatory or private material posted online for numerous clients Advising on the removal of information from Google using the "right to be forgotten" regime Acting for a Gulf-based real estate company and bank in a $800m claim in libel, malicious falsehood and breach of confidence Acting for a leading bank in defending a claim for alleged misuse of a customer's data and breach of the DPA Acting for an international airline in defending a claim brought by an employee for damages under the DPA Works closely with global corporations and individuals on reputation protection issues, with noted experience in internet-related matters CHAMBERS, 2016 Addleshaw Goddard's excellent reputation is largely down to the 'very able' David Engel, who is 'charming and easy to work with'.
