Slateford

Applications now open for what I'm confident is the only dedicated training route into reputation law, with what I am very confident is the fastest growing firm in the field. If you want to work somewhere disruptive, fast moving and innovative, have a passion for the law around reputation and privacy, and don't mind being asked to get a flight at two hours notice, click below.

Delighted to have been featured in the Global Banking & Finance Review, discussing what investors need to be aware of when deciding to invest in a newly founded company - and how they can protect their reputation after being a victim of fraud Slateford #reputationmanagement #startupinvesment

In February of this year, the Daily Mail published a series of articles about me which included false private and private information that infringed my rights (which is legal speak for private information but also information that purported to be private, but was in fact untrue). I chose to stay silent at the time but behind the scenes I took a stand against this unacceptable form of journalism which has caused me and my family much distress.    Today my lawyers have read out a statement in open court confirming that the Mail’s publishers have agreed to pay me legal fees and damages.    I have donated the damages and a proportion of my legal fees to charities that are close to my heart and will make a difference to young people in a region I care about. It doesn’t make it ok but I’m glad to know that worthy causes will be positively impacted by the ordeal.   Today’s statement in open court makes clear that I will not tolerate unwarranted invasions of my privacy or false reporting and I am pleased that it concludes this awful chapter. I’m massively thankful for the swell of support that I received from friends, colleagues and strangers, but most of all I am grateful to my family for their steadfast love throughout what was a pretty horrific time. It has made us stronger. Anyone who knows me will know how committed I am to my work and charitable endeavours and today, like every other day since February, I will be holding my head up high and getting on with the job at hand. **With thanks to the team at Slateford, Chris Scott and Jess Alden for sheltering me from the nonsense, their wise counsel and their empathy on the worst days. #responsiblejournalism

Happy legal directory month to all those who celebrate. Pleased to announce we have taken our refusal to participate to a new level this year

Chris Scott and Jess Alden are speaking at the Sifted Summit today. If you're there, drop in for our roundtable where we'll be speaking about how to avoid a crisis.

Looking ahead and preparing for the worst case scenario is crucial to forseeing and managing a crisis. We heard from Slateford at PRWeek's Crisis Comms on the warning signs and tips for de-escalation. Read more here https://lnkd.in/epKUVt9M #ad #pr #comms #publicrelations

Today marks four years since the launch of Slateford and - thanks to the magic of teenage daughters and Taylor Swift - I get to be in Slateford for the anniversary. It continues to be a source of immense joy that we’ve built a law firm that advises the most powerful and influential people in the business world, named after an aqueduct in what used to be a scuzzy part of Lothian where I walked dogs with my grandad. Huge thanks to those who have played a part in getting us here and, as we continue to grow at rapid pace, looking forward to more joining the cause in the weeks and months ahead.
