Spear’s Review

Vardags’ Gregory Monk is a commercial litigator and private client adviser with a wealth of experience in solving complex reputational and legal issues. Specialising in crisis management, Monk most frequently handles delicate matters ranging from defamation and blackmail threats to company leaks and confidential information disputes. His clients include high-profile politicians, executives and individuals facing the fallout from public scandals.

‘I’m happiest when we reach a resolution and put a client’s mind at ease,’ he tells Spear’s.

One standout case, Monk recalls, involved resolving a neighbourly dispute for a wealthy client who later sent him honey from her beehives as a thank you — appropriately, it was ‘the sweetest thing a client has ever given me’.
