Sexual offence allegations don’t stay private—unless steps are taken immediately. The damage to your name, career, and relationships can begin long before a verdict is reached.
When someone is accused of a sexual offence, public opinion often moves faster than the justice system. Media coverage, online speculation, and even workplace gossip can cause irreparable harm—regardless of guilt or innocence. Our role goes beyond legal defence. We help clients manage disclosure risks, navigate media pressure, and prevent unnecessary reputational fallout. Whether it involves suppressing publication bans, controlling information flow, or coordinating with public relations professionals, we act swiftly and discreetly to limit the damage and protect what matters most: your future.
Popular questions
Will my name be made public if I’m charged with a sexual offence?
In most cases, yes. However, there are legal tools like publication bans that can be requested to prevent your identity from being shared—especially before trial.
Can a lawyer stop my employer or school from finding out?
While a lawyer can’t guarantee silence, we can advise you on what must be disclosed by law, what can be kept private, and how to manage disclosure in a way that protects your reputation.
What can I do if the media contacts me or reports on my case?
Do not respond directly. We can help coordinate a controlled response or liaise with media counsel if needed. In some cases, legal steps can be taken to limit or correct public reporting.
Can anything be done if my name is posted online in connection with the case?
