Hollier Rhodes Lawyers is one of Australia's leading defamation law firms. Our firm exclusively deals with a person's or business's reputation.
We have successfully:
We remove online content from any platform, such as Google Maps, Facebook, TikTok, X, and more. In defamation law, content removal usually includes drafting a formal letter (called a Concerns Notice) to the person who posted it and demand that they remove the content.
We stop a person from repeatedly publishing defamatory material by drafting a formal letter (called a Concerns Notice) demanding that the person cease their behaviour.
If publisher is unknown or hiding behind a pseudonym, we apply to the Court to reveal their identity.
We hold defamers accountable by drafting formal letter (called a Concerns Notice) that demands a retraction from the publisher.
We will issue a formal letter (called a Concerns Notice) to the publisher demanding a prompt apology.
We provide our clients with legal and strategic advice on their defamation matter, the prospect of success, and the best way to approach the dispute.
If the publication is severely damaging, compensation may be an appropriate remedy. We seek compensation by drafting a formal letter (called a Concerns Notice), negotiate with the opposing party, and reach a settlement with both sides signing a Deed of Settlement & Release. If the parties cannot agree on a settlement, the next step is to consider initiating legal proceedings.
As a last resort, if the defamer fails to engage, or if the parties cannot agree on a settlement, we assist clients in navigating complex defamation litigation.
If a person or a business receives a Concerns Notice, it is essential to respond with a strong defence. It can be fatal to ignore defamation threats or even to delay a legal response. We help clients strategically manoeuvre defamation threats and in many cases, defeat them.
We represent a wide variety of individuals and businesses, from everyday Australians to national corporations. Some of our past clients have included:
We act against individuals, businesses (usually competitors), and media organisations. Some examples of opposing parties we have acted against include:
