About this Gig
Has a false statement, negative review, or malicious comment damaged your personal or business reputation? Fight back with a formal Defamation Demand Letter.
As a qualified UK solicitor (SRA ID: 362495), I will draft a precise and powerful letter to the person or platform responsible for the defamatory content. This letter will formally outline the nature of the libel (written) or slander (spoken), demand its immediate removal or retraction, and reserve your right to seek damages for the harm caused.
Under the Defamation Act 2013, you have the right to protect your reputation from false statements that cause serious harm. This letter is your first, critical step in that process.
This Gig can be used to demand:
- Removal of false online reviews or articles.
- Retraction of defamatory social media posts.
- An apology for slanderous remarks.
- An undertaking not to repeat the statements.
Why choose this Gig?
A demand letter from a solicitor is taken far more seriously than a personal request. It notifies the publisher that they face potential legal action, compelling them, their host, or their publisher to act swiftly to avoid costly litigation.
Field of law:
Civil rights
Target country:
United Kingdom

FAQ
What is the difference between libel and slander?
Libel is defamation in a permanent form (e.g., written, published online), while slander is transient (e.g., spoken words). The legal principles are similar, and this Gig covers both.
What proof do I need for a defamation claim?
You need to show: (1) a statement was made, (2) it referred to you, (3) it was published to a third party, (4) it is false, and (5) it has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to your reputation.
Can you guarantee the content will be removed?
I cannot guarantee the actions of a third party. However, this formal legal demand is the standard industry practice and has a very high success rate, as most publishers wish to avoid the risk and cost of a defamation lawsuit.
Is this the same as a "Letter Before Action"?
Yes. This letter serves as a formal Letter Before Action, setting out your complaint and the remedy you are seeking, which is a required step before initiating court proceedings for defamation.
What if the person who made the statement is anonymous?
The letter can often be sent to the platform that hosts the content (e.g., the website owner, review site, or social media platform) to put them on notice.
