Thomson Heath Jenkins & Associates

Thomson Heath Jenkins & Associates' Reputation Management team is highly ranked throughout the industry.

As well as Mark Thomson and James Heath, the Partners who head-up the teams, their specialist solicitors are adept at finding creative solutions to reputational issues and crisis management in a modern and online world, where discretion is key.  The firm has helped individuals and organisations pro-actively and pre-emptively manage urgent and complex issues, often arising unexpectedly, providing a clear and calm voice, easing what can often be a difficult time for the individuals involved.

The unique practice has successfully acted for private individuals and organisations in an enormously diverse range of matters: from stolen mobile phones and documents, attempted revenge porn and blackmail, to computer hacking, e-mail interception, cryptocurrency disputes and corporate espionage. Of course, Thomson Heath Jenkins & Associates' practice team does not shy away from their more ordinary bread and butter work of suing newspapers for defamation and breach of privacy. Recent highlights include: dealing with politically sensitive matters on behalf of Heads of State and Government officials; acting for members of the intelligence community whose e-mails had been intercepted by private investigators involved in corporate espionage; defending the French publisher Groupe L'Express in libel and data protection proceedings by Wafic Saïd; successfully acting for the children of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky in relation to highly intrusive photographs published online; assisting an Earl in sensitive circumstances; acting for numerous individuals in relation to a highly publicised and widespread data leak and helping a well-known wine entrepreneur and his family deal with the fall-out of (falsely) being accused by two national newspapers for being responsible for the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Thomson Heath Jenkins & Associates' media team continues in its widely-known role at the head of the £88.5 million-pound litigation as Lead Solicitors in the phone hacking against Reach plc, and is acting in a multi-jurisdictional defamation battle between crypto-currency billionaires, amongst the various High Court battles they are acting in this year.  Uniquely for a reputation management firm, Thomson Heath Jenkins & Associates includes a specialist Victims of Crime unit headed by former Metropolitan Police Officer, Michelle Roycroft. Over the years, the team has helped numerous high-profile individuals through stalking and harassment.

The team provides advice on civil and criminal options, as well as a steady-hand and sensitive and understanding ear through what can often be difficult and distressing circumstances. The unit also advises upon and arranges specialist protection services for individuals at risk of their safety.  The London-based team is rounded-off with other talented individuals, such as the up-and-coming Emily Jenkins, Yinka McKay Wood, Moritz Schirmeister and Isabella Ritchie, as well as a highly-skilled practice team, drawing-together the skills and experience of solicitors from all over the media world.

Thomson Heath Jenkins & Associates prides itself in being regularly able to stop matters proceeding at an early stage, maintaining its clients' confidentiality and privacy at all times. Working hand-in-glove with specialist PR firms and clients' close and personal advisors, the firm assists its clients navigate the interconnected financial, political, commercial and social worlds and places great emphasis on improving an individuals or organisations reputation and image in the worldwide media.
