Claire Gill

Spear’s Review

From the ground-breaking establishment of the ‘right to be forgotten’ in England and Wales to winning a libel case for Boris Berezovsky when he was falsely accused of being involved in the polonium poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, Carter-Ruck partner Claire Gill is au courant with headline-grabbing cases.

Gill, who once told The Times that not working with a large corporate firm was the best decision she'd ever made due to the satisfaction she gains from working with individual clients, focuses mainly on defamation and privacy, in addition to data protection and protection from harassment. She has been at the forefront of various cases against national newspapers and broadcasters and provides urgent trouble-shooting advice pre-publication or pre-broadcast.

‘You know clients trust you when they have your number on speed dial so they can reach you out of hours when a media crisis looms,’ she tells Spear’s.
