Persephone Bridgman Baker

Spear’s Review

Carter-Ruck partner Persephone Bridgman Baker combines media litigation with her intellectual property practice. 

‘My clients ultimately want a discreet legal expert who will fight hard for their reputation and guard their privacy as fiercely as they would,’ she told Spear’s.

Bridgman Baker has racked up several major victories for clients. In one High Court libel case fought against the Sun on behalf of then-Labour MP Richard Burgon, her client was awarded £30,000. Social media plays a big part in Bridgman Baker’s work, with platforms having ‘major impacts’ on the lifestyles of those in the spotlight – often in a negative way.
