Breach of privacy that happens online might relate to information which is true or untrue. Cases of breach of privacy this firm has dealt with (and most likely is dealing with as you read) include breach of privacy in relation to information about one's sexual preferences, family life, alleged affairs, alleged political preferences, alleged conduct or behaviour in private, alleged information, which had been passed on and alleged background. If, for whatever reason you feel uncomfortable about information which is either already published or which is about to be published, this is most likely because the information is private in nature. Breach of privacy is the favourite activity of tabloid journalists who thrive on sansationalism. It is also one of the favourite ways of venting frustration by angry and disgruntled lovers or by jealous competitors. If publication of your private information makes you feel uncomfortable, it means that the matter involves breach of privacy, which means we can stop the publication. We know this because many clients of this firm are private individuals who happened to be associated with people who are in the public eye. Just because you are associated with someone who is in the public eye does not mean you should be subjected to breach of privacy. In fact, we can stop publication of an article which mutations you, even if you are not the main character in the story. Because this firm is so niche, we are trusted by individuals who often hesitate to turn to one of the main-steam law firm. We operate a tight ship with confidentiality regime which is founded on military principles. We act fast and to the point and do this all heartedly.

Defamation against a business on internet forums, blogs and other social media could very easily slip out of control and turn a business’ reputation from brilliant to poor. Typically, a single customer or a former employee will post defamation against a business they had engaged with to create the false impression of general customer’s dissatisfaction. Often this type of action becomes self- fulfilling prophecy. Real or potential customers become influenced by the negativity they read about the business online and they respond by either moving away from the company or by not engaging with it in the first place.

Before responding to a negative review or to online defamation against your business, remember that once you post a statement online, you might never be able to take it back. Always consider the impact of any statement you volunteer to the online community on your business’ long term reputation. Decisions concerning a response to online defamation against a business should be strategic and account for the likely consequences of each action or inaction.

We believe that most UK business owners are great people who work relentlessly to cement their good reputation among their customers. Defamation against a business, large or small could undo years of hard work. As a business owner, you have a choice to either respond to online defamation against your business, ignore it or pursue a hard line and have it removed from the internet altogether.

Before deciding what to do, just consider what message you wish to send out to your consumers, investors and to your employees. Is it in your business best interest to publicly respond to the defamation or perhaps your company’s long term interest will be better served by taking a tougher, uncompromising approach? This is a hard choice, we know. A real gamble on the future of your business’ reputation. It therefore makes sense to call us, free, on 0800 612 7211 because it is likely that we have already dealt with a similar case to yours at least once in the past 20 years.

Harassment injunctions against anonymous internet users

Our harassment solicitors specialise in harassment cases which are particularly challenging. Details of many of the harassment cases that our lawyers have been involved in, will never be published, for obvious reasons. When they do get published, often we make sure that the court anonymises our client’s name and other details from which our client could be identified.

Below is a selection of harassment case that our team of harassment lawyers has brought on behalf of our clients. Many of the cases are of at least some notoriety because either the circumstances of the harassment were as such that never seen by the courts before, or because we needed the judges to create a precedent due to the unique nature of the harassment that our client was facing.

Let us help you to smoothly manage your online forum by removing any worries about the legal stuff

The most practical way for you, as an operator of a website or an internet forum in the UK, to protect your position is to know what your rights and obligations are. Yes, there is plenty of information on the internet which you can read but much of it (we are told by our clients) is either too general or too detailed for you to be sure of your true legal position.

To keep things simple but safe we invite you to call us today and to speak with an expert internet lawyer in a consultation dedicated to you and to your business. There are only 3 or 4 law firms in the UK which genuinely specialises in internet law and which are able to offer you a long term relationship of trust coupled with outstanding legal advice and support. As an operator of an online forum or a review website you are likely to need to have a good understanding of your rights and obligations in relation to defamation, data protection and privacy laws. You are likely to benefit from advice on drafting the most appropriate legal documents for your website, which include privacy policies, website terms and conditions and often users’ agreements and a code of conduct for your forum.

We will, as a matter of course, advise you on trademarks for your online business and will carry out international trademark searches to ensure you are safe. We will check if you are compliant with data protection laws and particularly where your users’ data is stored and whether this is compliant with EU data protection laws. We will further advise you on defamation, privacy and other legal issues which you are likely to encounter as an operator of an online forum or a review website. Most importantly however, once we speak with you in a consultation and have an understanding of your business and your passions, you will establish a relationship with us which means we will always be there to help and support you on short notice.

If you operate a business, any business, you are almost certainly susceptible to defamatory online reviews. Our  extensive experience shows that defamation on online reviews comes to most hard working business owners like a bolt from the blue. At first, too many business owners consider defamatory online reviews as nuisance until the negative reviews begin to bite into reputation and profit.

We probably know more than any other law firm in the UK about defamation on online reviews and we have, over the years, developed a number of creative and effective ways to help hundreds of UK business owners win over those who post defamation about them on online reviews.

How to obtain a privacy injunction.

If you need to obtain a privacy injunction quickly, we will certainly be able to help. Cohen Davis solicitors regularly obtain privacy injunctions in cases and circumstances where a privacy injunction has never been granted before. We have acted in a number of landmark cases as solicitors for the claimant where our clients obtained privacy injunctions which aimed to protect them and members of their family from unwanted publicity. Many of these privacy injunctions relate to publications on the internet and often they are granted together with an anonymity order to protect the identity of our client.

Criminal convictions that appear on the internet are often hugely detrimental to anyone who wants to get their life back after being convicted by a court of any offence. The more serious the conviction is the more you would want publication of it to go away, particularly if you are entitled to be rehabilitated by law.

Our solicitors have huge amount of experience in making successful applications to Google and to the ICO to have information about past criminal convictions and other legal proceedings removed from the internet. If anyone can help you remove criminal record from the internet it would us, based on our extensive experience.

If you or your company are the target of defamatory online publications, read on because our defamation solicitors are likely to have come across a similar defamation removal case to yours already, which they would have cracked for another victim.

Our defamation solicitors have successfully removed defamation from hundreds of websites across the world and have excellent relationships with defamation lawyers in the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe, which means we often achieve speedy and cost effective outcomes for our clients.

How to Remove False, Defamatory Glassdoor Reviews

Recently Glassdoor.com has intensified its presence in the UK. Glassdoor.co.uk is now a major review website for companies that are located in the UK. In the USA Glasdoor is following its Community Guidelines which states the importance of giving everyone a right to express their opinion “without fear of retribution.” This commitment is often demonstrated by Glassdoor aggressively defending the rights of its registered users to uphold anonymity, often making it difficult to challenge Glassdoor reviews as defamatory through the courts. Despite this, we are able to obtain disclosure orders and removal of reviews from Glassdoor.co.uk through either negotiation with Glassdoor legal counsel or through litigation.{loadmodule mod_custom,Marketing and online reputation}

In most cases we are able to facilitate removal of Glassdoor reviews from Glassdoor.co.uk directly from our London, UK office but occasionally we work together with our associated attorneys in California who conduct local litigation on behalf of our clients as necessary. There is yet to be a case recorded were Glassdoor submit to the jurisdiction of the High Court in England. So far Glassdoor counsel has managed to avoid direct litigation in the UK. Despite this, we are able to domesticate most court orders against Glassdoor.co.uk, such as third party disclosure orders, (commonly known as NPO) in San Francisco California, whereby converting High Court disclosure orders into valid, local subpoenas.

Be aware that as an affected businesses, once you create a user account with Glassdoor.co.uk, Glassdoor will claim that you have committed yourself (by virtue of their terms and conditions) to conducting all legal proceedings in accordance with the law of California. This could limit your options of having defamatory reviews removed from Glassfoor.co.uk through the English courts and Glassdoor may force you to litigate at their home ground.

Generally speaking, dealing with a false review on Glassdoor.co.uk is more challenging than some other websites. To maximise the likelihood of success, we strongly advise that you speak to either a specialist attorney in the USA (we will be happy to recomend one of our trusted associates) or to one of our specialist defamatory lawyers here in the UK before you create an account or post a reply to a review on Glassdoor.co.uk.

There are different ways by which you can remove your name from Google search results. If you want to remove your name from Google because search results that Google presents are defamatory, you can either do this by applying defamation law, privacy law or data protection law.

If the information that Google presents about you is not defamatory but is private or perhaps is not private but you have decided that you are no longer wishing for it to be presented to the world via Google searches, you can in most cases use European data protection and privacy laws to have the information removed from Google searches.

If the information that you wish to remove includes images or videos, which perhaps in the past you were happy for Google to present but now you feel slightly uncomfortable with, you can utilise data protection law, privacy law and copyright law to force Google to remove the unwanted images and/or videos from searches or apply these laws towards the operator of each of the relevant websites.

Whatever the reason is for your wish to have your name removed from Google, you have certainly come to the right place for helpful advice.

There are different ways by which you can remove private information from the internet. Private information could be information that you placed yourself on the internet but which you no longer wish to remain online. Private information is also information or data that was placed on the internet by others.

It could be your address, your date of birth, names of members of your family and other information, which if processed in a certain way, could be considered as private. Private information that you can remove from the internet may also include images and videos showing your face or body, whether posted by you or by others.

You can remove private information from the internet by using privacy law, data protection law, copyright law and sometimes even defamation law. Often, however, a well written letter to the operator of the website which hosts your private information would do. If you are a retiring celebrity or used to be a model or an adult entertainer, it is likely that there is large amount of private information about you on the internet.

In some cases, this may include hundreds and even thousands of articles, images and videos, which perhaps earlier in your life you were happy to remain online but now you consider private and wish to remove from the internet. Maybe because you started a family or a different job, images or other private information that you were previously happy to see on the internet is no longer to your liking. In this case, it might take some time to remove all your private information from the internet, and in some cases, up to one year.

But this should not deter you because you have now arrived at the right place, perhaps the only place in the UK where there is help available.

We are the only law firm in the UK with a dedicated team that specialises exclusively in making successful right to be forgotten applications. Often a right to be forgotten application forms the basis of a subsequent appeal to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

The ICO is far more likely to overturn Google refusal to allow a right to be forgotten application than most people realise. Our experience is that an average of around 92% of right to be forgotten applications that our firm submits on behalf of our clients are successful, either with Google or upon appeal. This include right to be forgotten applications that end up being appealed to the ICO.

Successful right to be forgotten applications that we have recently submitted and have been successful with, include applications on behalf of individuals who had been convicted of criminal offences and of teachers who had been subject to teacher misconduct disciplinary procedure by National College for Teaching and Leadership, including teachers who had been subject to suspension which had in the meantime expired. We are generally highly successful in submitting right to be forgotten applications in relation to individuals who had been investigated, charged and tried by criminal courts and who had been found not guilty by the jury. Right to be forgotten applications that fall under this category include applications on behalf of celebrities and other individuals who are in the public eye or whose cases attracted media attention for various reasons.

When submitting a right to be forgotten application in relation to a newspaper article that is published online, you must take into consideration the possibility that Google will inform the publishes, particularly mainstream news publishers, of your application. This could result in various freedom of information by the news reported which you must be ready to handle and often object to as quickly as possible. Our supper friendly and highly knowledgeable lawyers are happy to help and answer any questions that you might have. Call us for a chat and for further advice on how to complete a successful right to be forgotten application.

There are at least three different routes to help you remove criminal record from the internet or at least from Google search results. Most of those who wish to remove links to a criminal record from Google searches are aware of the right to be forgotten application but often are unaware of a much quicker, and more reliable method to persuade Google to remove references to old criminal convictions from search results.

We often advise clients, who are in a bit of a rush, to pursue Google through a s10 Data Protection Notice instead of via a right to be forgotten application. Understandably, Google has given the right to be forgotten a relatively narrow interpretation, which just about complies with the famous Google Spain case which resulted in the creation of the concept of a right to be forgotten.

Under s10, however, Google’s obligations are much more stringent which means Google is unable to take a narrow approach in relation to those. To find out more about the quickest route to have past criminal convictions and a criminal record removed from the internet, whether under a right to be forgotten or by a different method, browse this section of our website or call us free on 0800 612 7211.

Defamation on Twitter is one of the most common forms of defamation this firm is currently dealing with. Twitter defamation happens when the tweeter posts either an original tweet, posts over Twitter a link to other defamatory material, often a blog post, or when the tweeter retweets a tweet which was originally posted by a third party and which they had or had not been aware was defamatory.

Although some of the most popular examples of Twitter defamation are those involving celebrities, business people and even companies can become the subject of defamatory posts on Twitter more often than most people think.

In 2013, this firm brought a defamation case at the High Court in relation to defamatory allegations which were made by a shareholder against a PLC. The shareholder, Gary Carp posted allegations against the Chairman of Red Rock Resources on shareholders' discussion forums and then used Twitter to send shareholders links to his original allegations. He also made fresh allegations in separate tweets.

Despite only having numerous Twitter followers, most of the claim against Mr Carp centred on his defamatory activity on Twitter. Since the Red Rock Resources case, there had been dozens of other cases involving defamation on Twitter.

Nearly all of the cases ended with a successful outcome the Claimant, occasionally due to a misguided belief by the tweeter that either their activity was not defamatory or that they will never get caught, having used a pseudonym or a false identity.

If you are looking for a US internet lawyer or an internet law attorney to help you obtain a court order, a disclosure order, a subpoena or an injunction against a USA based website, then we fully sympathise with your natural worries and concerns. We know that for most individuals who, like yourself, have had little dealings with lawyers, finding and actually instructing a new lawyer, particularly in a relatively unfamiliar area of law and in another country, is nerve-racking and even frightening.

It’s not only the costs we are worried about for you, it is the quality of the work that you must not risk. Internet law is now the fastest growing area of law in the USA, which means a growing number of attorneys are jumping on the internet law bandwagon, making a risky, treacherous and a highly-complicated branch of the law very dangerous to their unsuspecting clients.

The damage that a well intending yet naïve US (or UK) attorney may cause your internet law case and to you personally, by misapplying the law or by misinterpreting a particular situation or by responding or initiating communication or proceedings inappropriately, is often irreversible. This is precisely the most common cause of the Streisand Effect, which is an unintended consequence of publicising more widely the very same information you are trying to remove from the internet.

If you are looking for a US internet law attorney, then stop searching now and start relaxing because you have finally arrived at a place of safety. Our lawyers either know personally or have experience in dealing with or have referred clients to the very best and the most established US internet law attorneys and in almost every State in the US. We carry out work for their US clients here in the UK and they look after our UK based clients who seek internet law legal advice in the US.

They get us subpoenas and disclosure orders from nearly every local court in the US and we do the same for them here, in England. We speak to our US internet law attorneys almost every day and we meet each one of them at least one or twice a year. If we don’t know a local US attorney in a particular US town, then we know someone who will recommend us one. We want our clients to be safe, to feel safe and most importantly to be in safe hands, here in the UK but also in the US because the internet is borderless and because we care.
