Brabners LLP‘s Liverpool litigation team remains at the forefront of high-profile and high-stakes disputes. Renowned for its defamation and reputation management expertise, the team achieved a landmark malicious falsehood victory in the Supreme Court in 2024 and notably represented Coleen Rooney in the widely publicised ’Wagatha Christie’ case. The practice also handles a broad range of matters, including insolvency litigation, debt recovery, medical negligence, and contentious probate. Team head Paul Lunt brings deep sector knowledge, particularly in sport, where he regularly represents athletes and football organisations. Helen Otty is a go-to for complex litigation and arbitration, while Matthew Moy has a strong track record advising on contractual disputes, defamation, and restrictive covenant issues in the employment sphere.
