Carter-Ruck

We are a law firm specialising in sensitive disputes, when reputations, assets and livelihoods are at risk.

The firm was founded in 1981 by Peter Carter-Ruck (1914-2003), who remains the best-known libel lawyer in English legal history.

Carter-Ruck continues to be a byword for defamation and media law, and over the last 20 years has also continued its growth as a major player in international law and arbitration, as well as large-scale commercial dispute resolution. The firm’s international client base, and its expertise in reputation management and resolving disputes with a geopolitical element, give it a unique, global reputation.
