1. Not a law firm — not legal advice
Defamation Guard is not a law firm and is not authorised or regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). We are a UK-focused information and referral service. We provide general information about defamation law and, where appropriate, we can connect you with independent specialist solicitors. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice. No solicitor-client relationship is created by accessing this website, reading its content, or submitting an enquiry through our forms. Any legal advice on your matter will come from an independent solicitor whom you choose to instruct — not from Defamation Guard.
2. General information only
Information published on this website is for general informational purposes only. It is intended to help readers understand how UK defamation law generally works. It may not reflect the most current legal developments, it may not apply to your specific situation, and it is subject to change without notice. Reliance on it is at your own risk.
3. Referrals to independent solicitors
When we introduce you to a specialist defamation solicitor, that solicitor is regulated by the SRA in their own right. They act under their own retainer with you, on their own terms, and set their own fees. Defamation Guard is not a party to that retainer and is not responsible for the advice the solicitor gives or the outcome of your matter.
4. No guarantee of outcomes
Any example scenarios, case types, statistics, or illustrative outcomes described on this site are provided for informational purposes only. They do not guarantee any particular outcome in your matter. Every legal matter is unique and results depend on the specific facts and circumstances.
5. Professional advice
You should seek independent legal advice tailored to your specific situation before taking or refraining from any action based on information on this website. Because of the strict one-year limitation period that applies to defamation claims in England and Wales, delay can be fatal to a claim.
6. Example scenarios and reviews
Example scenarios, illustrative outcomes, and case-type descriptions on this website are illustrative. They are not testimonials from real clients of Defamation Guard. They describe the types of matter specialist defamation solicitors typically handle and should not be taken as a promise of similar results.
7. Third-party links
This website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for your convenience and do not signify our endorsement of, or responsibility for, the content, accuracy, or practices of those websites. We have no control over the content of external sites and accept no liability in respect of them.
8. Intellectual property
All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, and images, is the property of Defamation Guard or its content suppliers and is protected by UK and international copyright laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written consent.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Defamation Guard excludes all liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website or reliance on its content. This exclusion applies whether the loss or damage is direct, indirect, consequential, or otherwise, and whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise.

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, please refer to our Complaints Procedure.
11. Governing law
This disclaimer is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
