Work Department
Media, reputation and privacy team.
Position
Amber leads the global media and reputation team. She is uniquely placed to serve our worldwide client base as a dual qualified media and reputation lawyer, admitted in both the courts of England and Wales, and New York.

Amber guides and protects her clients through all issues of reputation, privacy, crisis management, media advice, data protection, harassment and blackmail, through pre- and post- publication situations, in negotiation and litigation.
Moreover, Amber’s expertise extends well beyond black letter law into all areas of communication, as she uses her legal expertise, experience, contacts and emotional intelligence to provide a holistic approach for her clients, whether dealing with the traditional or social media, with internal corporate or family issues, with the public at large or any third parties.
Amber has been a prolific and respected author and commentator on media legal matters throughout her career. Recognised as ‘absolutely outstanding’, Amber is highly regarded and revered for her empathy, availability and judgment.
