Spear's Review

Mark Thomson of Thomson Heath Jenkins & Associates is a pioneering and highly sought-after media law specialist who has won judgements and damages in some of Britain's most high-profile cases in recent years.

In 2011, he acted for actor Sienna Miller in one of the first phone-hacking cases against the now-closed News of the World, resulting in the highest privacy award to that date. Other arts and entertainment clients include Lily Allen, Keira Knightley, Sir Michael Parkinson and Jude Law.

He contributed to Privacy and the Media: The Developing Law, edited by Hugh Tomlinson KC of Matrix Chambers, and was a founding editor of the Inforrm media law blog.
