Spear’s Review
Taylor Wessing partner Michael Yates is a specialist across a range of contentious matters, and has a strongly international practice with clients who include influential Middle Eastern families.
Yates is skilled at obtaining injunctive relief, stopping stories and removing content through tact rather than aggression, and has obtained many apologies, damages, takedowns and corrections for high-profile HNWs.
A memorable case was the landmark privacy injunction ERY v Associated Newspapers Ltd [2016], which added weight to the premise that a criminal investigation of an individual can be considered to be private information – hence protectable.
Yates joined Taylor Wessing in 2017 from media law firm Lee & Thompson.
