MEDIA LAW

Mellicks has over 25 years’ experience working with Scotland’s best-selling daily newspaper, providing 24/7 legal cover and advice relating to news gathering and publication.

This includes both pre and post-publication advice on contempt of court issues, defamation and privacy. Since the late ‘80s Mellicks has provided The Scottish Sun with a team of expert lawyers ranging from solicitors to temporary sheriffs and criminal defence QCs to give advice on a story-­by-story basis.

Our media law service is also now provided to The Times and Sunday Times journalists in Scotland.

Mellicks also gives a comprehensive media law service on any issues arising from or connected to publication, including assisting in litigation matters.
