Founded in 1984, Schillings has been handling clients’ high-stakes situations for over 40 years. We’ve grown from a media law firm to a multi-disciplinary consultancy, boldly evolving our services to better protect our clients’ reputation, privacy and security against the backdrop of an ever-changing online world.

With a track record for changing the law and pioneering new approaches, we have always been restless industry leaders. Today, we have a global reach, with offices in London, Miami and Dublin, and a strategic alliance with top reputation and privacy law firms in the US and Australia.

What we do and why we do it

Schillings offers a unique and bespoke combination of expertise – spanning intelligence, law, communications, security and diplomacy – to help individuals and businesses navigate high-stakes threats and harness high-stakes opportunities in their personal and professional lives.

We believe everyone has a right to fair treatment of their reputation, to a reasonable expectation of privacy and to feel safe.

Reputation, privacy and security are our clients’ most valuable assets. For those in positions of wealth, power and influence, these assets have always been at risk, but today, the stakes are even higher.

In our new digital landscape, protecting privacy and building reputations requires a bold, intelligent and sophisticated new approach.

We deploy bespoke teams of experts in intelligence, law, communications, security and diplomacy to swiftly and effectively find optimum solutions for our clients when the stakes are high, ensuring their reputation, privacy and security are protected.
