Defamation

Our solicitors at Kiely McCarthy LLP can ensure the protection of your reputation as a result of our experience in the area of defamation. Defamation occurs when false and damaging statements are made about an individual or business, either verbally or in writing. Pursuant to the Defamation Act 2009 those affected may be entitled to a public apology, a correction of a statement, a removal of a statement or financial compensation.

With social media platforms and online publications increasing in prominence, defamatory statements have the potential to cause far-reaching and lasting harm, and cases of this variety are becoming increasingly common.

Kiely McCarthy LLP are available to advise you through the process by assessing your case and outlining the best course of action.
