Spear’s Review

‘The fragility of reputation can never be underestimated,’ says Carter-Ruck partner Rebecca Toman. Having been at the firm for almost two decades, she has witnessed the evolution of reputation management and the threats HNWs clients face. 

‘The digital world enhances so much of our daily lives, yet plays a central role in the destruction of reputations forged over decades,’ she says. ‘More than ever, clients require legal advice that works alongside existing strategies designed to protect the “brand”.’

Toman has observed a rise in non-disclosure agreements. She explains: ‘Drafted well and, most importantly, used in appropriate circumstances, they continue to be a necessary and effective way of legitimately enhancing the common law duty of confidence.’
