Biography
Bryony is an experienced trial litigator, but she works with clients from a far earlier stage of the risk life cycle – before disputes are brewing – using her knowledge of the industries in which they operate to help identify potential threats and challenges and take action to protect their brand, core values and commercial goals. Her in-house work at a global media company and at the UK’s data protection regulator, along with her years spent as a reputation management lawyer and deep experience handling internet-related disputes, give her a unique and varied toolbox with which to tackle clients’ problems. Her approach is commercial and pragmatic, recognising that forceful litigation has its place but is not always the be-all-and-end-all solution.
Bryony works with a range of technology, media and telecom (TMT) businesses – including online platforms, web operators, digital publishers and broadcasters, IT providers, and software companies and their customers. These clients call upon Bryony for an array of needs, from commercial disputes and data litigation to advice on upcoming digital laws, such as the UK’s Online Safety Act. Bryony’s work handling cybersecurity incidents and data breaches has a broader client base, having assisted global airlines, international retailers, recruitment companies and public bodies with these challenges. Her experience managing reputational issues spans work for social media companies, gambling operators, sports bodies, luxury retailers, senior managers and executives, and high net worth individuals.
