Spear’s Review

Brett Wilson partner Max Campbell is highly experienced in supporting HNWs, entrepreneurs, media figures and CEOs with the full spectrum of reputational challenges, acting for claimants and defendants in defamation, privacy, data protection and harassment cases.

Prominent cases have included acting for London therapist Caroline Ley, who was awarded £75,000 in a defamation and harassment counterclaim against a rival therapist, and defending a barrister in a libel claim – ultimately withdrawn – brought jointly by Countdown host Rachel Riley and actor Tracey-Ann Oberman. 

Campbell tells Spear’s that he takes pride in fostering meaningful connections with clients, who sometimes come to him in times of crisis. 

‘Fundamentally, it comes down to being mindful,’ Campbell emphasises, as he encourages more clients to seek advice preemptively. ‘Advice is actually not expensive in the grand scheme of things, certainly not compared to litigation, or in the fallout from a problem.’
