Jon Oakley
Spear’s Review
A part of the Simkins team that represented Sir Cliff Richard in his landmark case against the BBC and South Yorkshire Police (which was recognised at the 2018 Spear’s Awards as Case of the Year), Jon Oakley is no stranger to high-stakes reputation and privacy cases.
Since joining the firm in 2013, Oakley has developed a formidable reputation protection and crisis management practice, with the majority of his work occurring prior to publication. He regularly deals with emergency matters for high-profile clients – including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – as well as for listed and private companies.
A regular contributor to law texts, Oakley is also one of the leading voices in the UK in relation to SLAPPs.
