A ‘top-drawer defendant practice’, Wiggin LLP is known for its market-leading expertise in publishing matters, including pre-publication issues and high-profile litigation. Noted for its well-rounded view of the industry, the firm acts for publishers, content creators and media insurers in commercial disputes, contractual matters, boardroom fallouts, joint venture disputes and free speech cases. The practice also possesses a strong track record in litigation involving copyright infringement, and website blocking as a remedy for content and brand owners. The team is co-led by publishing experts Matthew Dando, Alexander Ross, Rachel Alexander and Ted Shapiro: Alexander leads on cases involving online content enforcement matters, while Dando focuses on libel and privacy cases disputes, and Ross advises on podcasting deals and publishing acquisitions. Robin Shaw represents magazines, newspapers and book publishers in defamation and privacy cases, and Adelaide Lopez - 'a highly skilled litigator on film and TV matters' - assists with contentious issues related to the production and distribution of content.

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘They have a large amount of experience with both major media organisations and with independent / public interest groups. This gives them a view from both of the usual sides to media litigation, which marks them out as different to many of the other firms in the area.’

  • ‘Caroline Kean has retired as a partner but is carrying on as a consultant and is very experienced and knowledgeable, with personal warmth. Matthew Dando has been Caroline's right-hand man and is now leading the team in her place. He has always been a very safe pair of hands. Adelaide Lopez has got loads of knowledge and insight into the film industry and is a highly skilled litigator on film and TV matters.’
