Roddy Chisholm Batten
Spear’s Review
Head of privacy and reputation management at Clintons, Roddy Chisholm Batten has acted for A-list celebrities, well-known sportspeople and senior members of the royal family in defamation, malicious falsehood, misuse of private information, data protection and harassment claims.
Clintons made headlines in 2019 when it was reported to be the law firm enlisted by Prince Harry in his allegations of phone hacking against the Sun and the Daily Mirror; Chisholm Batten continues to advise clients in claims arising out of the ongoing scandal. ‘We’ve been doing it for the best part of a decade now,’ he says. ‘It keeps coming, and there’s lots of it still to come.’
Chisholm Batten also handles commercial litigation, IP and property disputes involving those in the entertainment industries.
