Practice Areas

Adam is a partner at the firm. He is one of the UK’s most highly-regarded media litigation and reputation management lawyers, and also helps spearhead the firm’s Commercial Dispute Resolution practice.

Adam’s clients include multinational corporations, NGOs and leading business people to national governments and heads of state, as well as other high-profile politicians and celebrities. He also takes considerable pride in having acted for numerous charities and members of the public who have been the subject of intrusive of defamatory media attention.

Graduating from Balliol College, Oxford, with a First in Law (Jurisprudence), Adam started his professional career at Herbert Smith (now Herbert Smith Freehills), where he combined his general commercial litigation practice with a specialism in defamation and media litigation. He became a partner at Carter-Ruck in 2003.

MEDIA LAW AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

Much of Adam’s work is for clients seeking to prevent or mitigate the publication of inaccurate, defamatory or private/confidential material, whether through robust (but constructive) engagement with publishers or, where necessary, by way of Court injunction.

Where publication has already taken place, Adam has a formidable record in obtaining redress for clients. In recent years he has secured countless apologies across all media, whether online, prominently in national newspapers, or on prime time television, as well as securing the removal of articles and other content online. Adam has also secured for clients many of the highest awards and settlements of libel damages across the past decade.

Adam’s practice often involves an international or geopolitical element and he is highly experienced in working with overseas lawyers and PR agents as part of wider reputation management strategy.

COMMERCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Adam has extensive experience of large-scale commercial dispute resolution, including complex contractual and shareholder litigation.
