Spear’s Review

 A co-founder of Thomson Heath (alongside his esteemed colleague Mark Thomson), James Heath has worked in the field of media litigation for more than a decade, specialising in defamation, breach of privacy, breach of confidence and harassment. 

Notable recent cases include acting for Ian Hurst, the ex-military intelligence officer whose computers were hacked and emails intercepted by the News of the World; advising a large bank in relation to reputation management following an adverse broadcast; and being appointed the lead solicitor for all the claimants in phone hacking litigation against the Mirror newspaper group.

As well as his litigation work, Heath provides pre-publication advice to clients and performs crisis management for individuals who find themselves subject to unwanted press attention.
