It can be extremely damaging to your personal and business’s reputation if someone makes an allegation against you which isn’t true. A good reputation is vital to a business’s success, so any damage to your reputation can be devastating. You could lose key clients, customers or referrers. It’s important to take decisive pragmatic action if you discover that someone has said or written something about you that could affect your reputation negatively.
Our specialist defamation solicitors can tell you if you have grounds to make a claim. For a business to bring a successful action for defamation, it must show that the alleged defamation has resulted in or will result in financial loss or reputational damage.
Whatever your situation, Tees can help you set the record straight. If a former employee, client or competitor has made an allegation that could hurt your organisation’s image, we have the expertise to help keep your reputation intact. We can also help you bring a claim for damages against the individual or business responsible because of their comments.
