Spear’s Review

Sam MacAuslan is a director in the London office of Farrant Group.

His focus is on entrepreneurial clients and established business figures working internationally; he helps them to maintain their reputations, including when they are facing litigation. MacAuslan also works closely with private clients and families over the long term, offering guidance on preserving family legacy and maintaining a strong reputation.

He tells Spear’s: ‘It is less about what’s happening in the courtroom, and more about safeguarding someone’s reputation and ensuring that their reputational goals are met in line with the legal strategy.’

His team works in partnership with the client’s wider team of legal advisers. ‘It’s no good to win your court case and your damages but have your reputation in tatters. If you need to continue to operate a business while litigation is going through, it’s important that the business remains unaffected,’ he says.
