Defamatory matter causes serious harm to many areas of your life.

Queensland’s Defamation Act 2005 defines the communication or publication of defamatory matters broadly. Examples are online media, photos, written communications and speech. In today’s modern world, the defamatory matter is prevalent on social media.

It is important from a practical position to obtain legal representation quickly. The longer the material remains published the more harm and anguish it causes to you and your family. Time is also of the essence legally because defamation claims must be lodged within one year from the publication date.

Safeguard your reputation with defamation law expertise.

We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and work closely with you to protect your reputation and secure a favourable outcome. Whether you are facing a potential defamation claim, or you are looking to defend yourself against false allegations, we are here to provide you with the legal guidance you need.

Cease and desist notices are used to alert the publishing party that we act for you and require them to cease and desist from communicating or publishing defamatory material.

In these modern times, lay social media publications without foundation are rife. Extensive legal proceedings may not be the answer for you. However, decisive action can be taken to have publishers take down defamatory material immediately.

Concerns notices place defamation perpetrators on notice if they do not resolve the issue in an appropriate way, legal proceedings may be commenced.

Defamation proceedings are the final step if a defamation perpetrator is unwilling to correct the wrong.

Depending on the circumstances, a defamation complaint could be resolved via one, some or all of the following remedies:

  • removal or taking down of the defamatory material;
  • public and/or private apology; and
  • monetary damages.

Serious Assault and Wilful Damage

“I could not be happier with the outcome Calvin and his team achieved for my son and myself. As two people who had never been in trouble with the law before, we were shocked when we were both charged with serious assault and wilful damage.

Calvin understood the faults in the prosecution case immediately and through rigorous advocacy and legal strategy, he got the charges withdrawn and costs were awarded in our favour against prosecutions. I highly recommend Gnech and Associates.”
