How do we help?
Our dedicated defamation lawyers provide comprehensive guidance and advice on the intricacies of defamation law and action for defamation matters.
We assist clients in defamation disputes, priding ourselves in undertaking most of the advocacy in defamation proceedings to limit unnecessary expenses. While legal proceedings may sometimes be necessary, we will always explore prospects of alternative dispute resolution to minimise legal costs and demands of litigation.
We also provide advice on alternative claims such as injurious falsehood and pre-publication advice.
Can I sue for defamation of character in Australia?
Yes. Under Australian defamation laws, anyone who is the subject of published materials containing false statements or defamatory content can seek to protect themselves from reputational damage by making a claim for defamation.
What is the strongest defence against a defamation claim?
The strongest complete defences to defamation claims include proving the alleged defamatory statement was substantially true, an honest opinion, unlikely to cause serious harm, or was made with qualified privilege or public concern.
What is needed to prove defamation in Australia?
A successful defamation claim will need to prove that a false statement regarding the claimant was published to a third party, and has caused, or is likely to cause, damage or harm to the claimant’s reputation. Our dedicated team are experts at dealing with these matters.
