About us
Maltin PR is a London-based Legal and Litigation PR firm specialising in Legal PR, Litigation PR, Litigation Support, and Reputation Management.
Maltin PR was founded 10 years ago by Tim Maltin, who was named Outstanding Individual of the Year at the Citywealth Brand Management and Reputation Awards, and recently listed as one of the top five Crisis Communications experts in London.
Based at their Holborn offices in the heart of legal London and now comprising 20 individuals, for over a decade they have handled a range of national and international, high-profile, complex and sensitive litigation support campaigns, including the Leveson Inquiry, the Libor benchmark-rigging prosecutions, major group action litigations and the campaign in defence of Legal Professional Privilege, as well as international banking and commercial litigation matters.
They are regularly asked to work on many of the major cases in the UK commercial courts, including a £200m litigation against one of the largest banks in the world, PR surrounding the repatriation of funds in a $300m international fraud and a £1.25bn claim in the commercial court arising from international sanctions. They offer clients wide ranging services to support their strategic aims throughout litigation. They also successfully control narratives, protect reputations and conduct targeted media briefings on a variety of multi-jurisdictional litigation cases, as well as those involving international banks, group action litigations, international political campaigns, high-profile regulatory and financial prosecutions, and disputes involving international corporates.
Maltin PR is recognised by Chambers and Partners as a leading Litigation Support PR firm: “Clients appreciate the firm for being “very passionate about the cases they take on,” while a lawyer reports that “we were dealing with an organisation that gets badly beaten up in the press. The only firm we have used who have had any traction with this case are Maltin. Not a lot of the vanilla, large PR agencies could handle it.” The agency are also commended for “providing spot-on judgements” on how to engage with activists and agitators surrounding a case.” They are “an extremely talented, tightly knit professional outfit – they really understand the legal market.”
The Firm is a regular contributor to industry publications on Legal and Litigation PR matters, including the Legal 500 Litigation Country Comparative Guide, which recently published our essays on “The role of Litigation PR both outside and inside the courtroom” and “How to integrate legal and PR strategy to optimise litigation results“. Maltin PR has also written an Overview of Litigation PR for Chambers and Partners.
Maltin PR is also listed in Lawdragon’s Global 100 Leaders in Legal Strategy & Consulting as one of the top four Crisis Communications firms in London.
Maltin PR work discreetly and effectively to deliver your PR objectives before, during and after court hearings, CMC’s and full trials. They support your overall legal strategy as well as your ultimate communications objectives. Working with publicly available documents such as your Particulars of Claim, they can also assist with introducing witness evidence at the right time. They work closely with key journalists, providing them with background briefings and the tools to stand up complex information.
As well as maximising exposure where required, Maltin PR also assist with keeping press interest to a minimum when this is desirable. They can also add antidote comments into negative online articles and assist in removing inaccurate information.
They build long-term, strategic relationships with clients but can also get results quickly and relish being brought into complex projects, including those which require a highly commercial approach and lateral thinking.
They enjoy working with Managing Partners of specialist law firms and the leading solicitor and barrister teams on complex litigations.
