Taylor Hampton has achieved a remarkable rise to prominence since its inception in 2007. The firm’s lawyers are recognised as leading privacy and media lawyers who are at the very forefront of the phone hacking litigation.
As a result of their experience of over 30 years of handling high-profile cases, solicitors at Taylor Hampton are experts in acting on behalf of corporate and individual clients to prevent the unlawful acquisition and publication of their private and confidential information, as well as managing and defending
The firm achieved worldwide media exposure when it represented the family of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler in their claim for “phone hacking” against News Group Newspapers Limited. The family received what they reported to be the largest amount of agreed damages ever obtained in a privacy claim, together with a personal apology from Rupert Murdoch. The ensuring public outcry culminated in the closure of the 168-year-old News Corporation’s bid to take over BskyB, and the establishment of the Leveson Inquiry.
Solicitors at the firm continue to be amongst the major players in phone hacking proceedings against both News Group and Mirror Group Newspaper Limited. The firm acted for three of the eight representative’s claimants in the landmark case of Gulati & Ors v MGN Ltd {2015}, which signalled a milestone in the development of privacy law in the UK.
In a further recent and successful high-profile privacy action, the firm also successfully represented the butler to Princess Diana, Paul Burrell, in his claim for misuse of private information against disgraced former PR guru Max Clifford (Burrell v Clifford {2015}).
In addition to their status within privacy and media law, solicitors at Taylor Hampton have over 30 years’ experience in dealing with a range of heavyweight commercial and civil disputes.
