DEFAMATION TESTIMONIALS

It is not possible to provide testimonials for all defamation work undertaken by the firm because many of the cases in which the firm has acted have been settled (positively) and the clients have been bound by confidentiality in a settlement.

The best testimonials that are available are those in which we have been referred to in reported cases:

• Seven Consulting Pty Ltd v Google LLC [2021] FCA 203 – Preliminary discovery against Google 
• Acting for a plaintiff in a multi-million dollar damages claim against the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
• Acting for a group of plaintiffs who contended that they were defamed by a Chinese language newspaper. Practitioners associated with the plaintiffs alleged that they have been persecuted and tortured by the Chinese Government.
• Acting for a plaintiff against a Perth-based, high profile, publicly-listed company based in Perth.
• Acting successfully for prominent cosmetic surgeon against blogger. 
• Athletics boss wins appeal to fight ‘slander’. 
• Acting in Facebook Sex Tape Case.

We would like to identify other major cases but cannot do so for fear of breaching the confidentiality provisions.

Please note that the firm of Goldsmiths Lawyers was acquired by HFK Lawyers.
