Manleys, a Chester-based law firm, has announced two new partnerships which will add vital and sophisticated services to its existing work protecting online reputations in the digital era.
Reputation management is crucial today more than ever, with a significant increase of high-profile cases being reported in the media. Corporate and individual reputations can be destroyed following the publication of misinformation, content or reviews which is damaging, untrue, or libellous. The consequences can be irreparable with loss of income, damaged careers, declining bookings and appointments and much more.
Regulating and controlling online abuse, bad reviews, and negative comments has become big business.
Manleys has developed a formidable reputation for protecting its clients against damaging online publications since its incorporation in 2012. The firm handles the prevention of publications, broadcasts and the removal of damaging internet content.
Manleys has recently partnered with technology providers in Switzerland and the UK to allow their clients to access a portal of their global online presence at a far deeper level than a regular search engine such as Google. This will enable their clients to monitor their entire internet footprint, whether in print, images, or video format and remove anything deemed harmful or damaging.
In the instances where removal of content is not possible due to legal reasons, steps can be taken to “demote” and neutralise content so that its ranking on search engines dramatically reduces to the point where it is difficult to find at all.
Managing Director of Manleys, Mark Manley, said: “Our work is to protect the established reputations of our clients, their business interests, and brands. Whilst we have had great successes previously in restriction of harmful content about our clients, these new partnerships add significant new layers of protection such that offending online content can be identified globally, attacked quickly, and either removed entirely or diluted/demoted to such extent that it is almost untraceable. We are delighted to have formed these relationships which will add a lot to the already successful legal remedies we obtain.”
Manleys clients include members of the Royal family, MPs, Governments, NHS Trusts, large PLCs, SME companies, Football Clubs, Managers, players, agents, athletes, and others involved in sports including Formula One and Boxing. They also have a substantial number of cosmetic surgeons, beauticians, hoteliers and other clients who rely upon online reviews for their business.
