Hamlins Media Disputes partners recognised among best reputation managers 2025

Hamlins’ Media Disputes partners, Callum Galbraith and Christopher Hutchings have been recognised once again as Recommended Reputation & Privacy Lawyers in the Spear’s 500 2025 Reputation Managers index.

This is a highly regarded, annual publication, which celebrates the best reputation managers and lawyers for privacy and defamation work.

Callum Galbraith is recognised as a ‘long-term trusted adviser for a clientele that includes musicians, actors, actresses and their agents, as well as politicians and businesspeople’. However, he highlights it is not just the widely reported cases that are relevant to a good reputation lawyer, saying: ‘Sometimes I’ve advised clients to not do anything. That’s not always in the lawyer’s best interest financially, but it is in the client’s best interest. That’s what we want.’

Chris Hutchings, who has more than 30 years’ experience as a defamation and privacy lawyer, is recognised for having won landmark judgments in his career, and says: ‘Our overarching principle, no matter the issue, is to achieve a successful outcome.’

The Hamlins Media Dispute team specialises in relationships rather than sectors, and this is reflected in its expertise across a broad range of industries including music, entertainment, sport, business and politics, and in the outstanding feedback regularly received from clients.

Our team has vast experience in protecting the reputation of individuals and businesses, with preventing damage our primary objective.  We have acted against publishers, individuals and broadcasters on behalf of a broad range of private and public individuals.
