Duncan Lamont

Spear’s Review

Duncan Lamont of Charles Russell Speechlys is known for being fiercely protective of his clients. When a newspaper asks questions about a client, he says, ‘it’s often enough just to ring the legal department and threaten an injunction’.

Lamont, who acts for broadcasters and producers, journalists, sports stars, celebrities and other HNWs, reports that ‘confidence and clarity’ are essential in a crisis, and clients want to be sure their adviser has seen it all and knows what they’re doing. With a wealth of experience in defamation and dispute resolution, he delivers exactly that.

Historically, he has defended victims of the phone-hacking scandal by national newspapers, advised ITV news and has backed policemen in their case against Channel 4. He tells Spear’s of one case where he took issue with every inaccuracy in a Guardian article and successfully encouraged the paper to ‘pick on someone else’.
