Hanna Basha

Spear’s Review

A specialist in defamation, privacy, data protection, harassment and breach of confidence, Payne Hicks Beach’s Hanna Basha has acted in a number of landmark defamation and privacy cases in her impressive career. 

She secured one of the highest ever damages award in an ‘offer of amends’ case and was also part of the team representing Naomi Campbell in her high-profile privacy claim against the Mirror newspaper – still seen as one of the most significant developments in the law of privacy. 

‘My clients look for someone they can trust in a crisis, to understand and support them and to devise and execute a plan to handle whatever issues they face,’ Basha tells Spear’s. Skilled at ‘managing media storms,’ she is able to put a responsive strategy in place quickly and effectively when clients are facing unwanted attention. 

Basha has been featured in both Chambers and the Legal 500 where she has been described as ‘top-class’ and ‘highly knowledgeable’.
