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. He has represented a string of arts and entertainment clients, including 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.
