Nick Grant

Spear’s Review

Nick Grant, a legal director in Payne Hicks Beach’s dispute resolution department, divides his time between litigation, dealing with pre-publication disputes and advising clients on their online presence. He specialises in defamation, media and privacy law and is often asked to act for clients facing hostile media attention, both in traditional media and online. 

He tells Spear’s that the advent of social media and its impact on the lives of HNWs has dramatically changed reputation management. ‘In some ways, those who are newer to the area find [the change] easier to manage than partners who’ve been around for a really long time.’ 

In recent years, Grant has worked on a number of significant cases, including successfully acting for television personality Georgia Harrison in a civil claim against Stephen Bear, resulting in the court awarding Harrison £207,900 in damages, ‘one of the highest awards of all time in a privacy claim arising out of a single act’.
