Brett Wilson

Spear’s Review 

Specialist media and litigation law firm Brett Wilson takes on cases related to defamation, privacy, online harassment, criminal litigation, disciplinary/regulatory proceedings and civil/commercial litigation. 

Based in London, the firm is well experienced in the range of reputational challenges faced by HNWs and UHNWs, entrepreneurs, media figures and CEOs, also acting for politicians, celebrities, corporates and professionals to address challenges around privacy and data protection. The firm primarily acts for claimants, and is frequently instructed in ‘right to be forgotten’ work, legal action against ‘trolls’ or stalkers, and cases involving unauthorised sharing of intimate private photographs or videos. 

Brett Wilson acted in two landmark cases involving online publication. The Law Society & Ors v Kordowski [2011] resulted in the controversial website ‘Solicitors from Hell’ being shuttered, while Tamiz v Google Inc [2013] found that Google could be liable with regard to posts on its blogging platform.
