11KBW is ‘the go-to chambers for defamation and data privacy work,’ with the set’s offering covering defamation, privacy, data protection and related European law matters. Zac Sammour is acting for the defendants in a claim brought by Dillan Whyte against CBS Interactive after it published articles confirming that the former WBC interim heavyweight champion tested positive for a banned substance. David Glen represented the claimant in Bennett v Yakoob, in which a PE teacher alleged that a solicitor with a high profile on social media, who was running for the Mayor of the West Midlands as an independent, released a deepfake video doorbell clip manipulated to make it appear she used a racial slur while campaigning for the Labour Party in the May 2023 local elections - the matter settled.
