Reputation & Privacy

In today’s digital world, your reputation and privacy are vulnerable to new nefarious forms of attack. At Vardags, we understand the emotional and commercial effects of these attacks. We have extensive experience defending our clients’ privacy and personal or professional reputation.

She has defended clients against a broad spectrum of issues, including smear campaigns, blackmail, harassment, and defamatory allegations.
