When a former business partner launched a damaging and false online campaign against me, I was referred to Hamish McNair. Despite his relatively recent admission to the bar, his strategic acumen was immediately apparent. He leveraged his deep, recognized expertise in defamation and media law to navigate the complexities of the case with remarkable precision. Hamish was not only a sharp litigator but also a calming presence, explaining each step clearly. His approach, informed by his background in both Australian and U.S. contexts, was perfectly tailored to the cross-border nature of the online defamation. The result was a swift and favorable settlement, including a full retraction. His professionalism and dedication are truly exceptional.
