We are specialists in advising those who have been discriminated against in the media, including representing TV presenter Miriam O'Reilly in her successful high-profile landmark case against the BBC for age discrimination.
We have also acted for board directors, senior executives and other leading individuals in age and sex discrimination disputes against other well-known broadcasters, television channels, and communications and advertising agencies.
