Spear’s Review

‘The fragility of reputation can never be underestimated,’ says recently anointed Carter-Ruck partner Rebecca Toman, who has had an ‘exceptionally busy year’.

‘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 observes a rise in non-disclosure agreement matters. She said: ‘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.’
