About us

Maltin PR is a London-based legal and corporate PR firm specialising in litigation PR, public affairs and reputation management.

Maltin PR was founded in 2008 by the former Chairman of City PR firm Lehmann Communications, Tim Maltin, alongside the former Global Head of Public Relations at Magic Circle law firm Allen & Overy LLP, Iain Rodger.

For over a decade, Maltin PR have advised on a range of national and international, high-profile and sensitive matters including the Leveson Inquiry, the RBS Rights Issue case, and the 2018 Russian Presidential Election.

Comprising 20 individuals well versed in media and campaign strategy, litigation PR, public affairs and reputation management, Maltin PR possesses a unique network of personal relationships with journalists from across the national, international and trade press, as well as broadcast media.

Maltin PR is recognised by Chambers and Partners 2018 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.”

Maltin PR is a member of the PRCA, and both founders are Members of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations. Tim Maltin is a holder of the Institute of Public Relations Communications Award for Excellence.

I’ve yet to come across anyone in my 30 years as a litigator who is as focused on and dedicated to litigation PR.”

Maltin PR has been our partner in raising the visibility of the Right Livelihood Award, widely known as the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize’, since 2016. We were impressed by the creative direction suggested for the award’s new visual identity, particularly the logo that is both modern and true to the award’s origins. We were equally pleased with the execution of the new look & feel in print and online, including redeveloping the award’s website. Last but not least, we worked together on getting the award better known in the English-speaking world, achieving a significant increase in the media coverage. The Maltin PR team is always ready to go an extra mile to ensure the success of our project and to make the most of our modest PR budget. But what we appreciate most is a sense of a truly shared vision—one of getting our laureates’ inspiring stories out.

Xenya Cherny-Scanlon, Director of Communications, The Right Livelihood Award

Tim and his team have a done a brilliant job in helping to raise our organisation’s profile and thereby making a genuine contribution to our recent growth and future prospects. We have achieved far more – and more quickly – than we could have hoped to do via advertising, and this has had many spin-off effects: new membership enquiries, conference speaking invitations and, not to be overlooked, higher profile in front of existing members.

General Secretary, IBOS Banking Association

Everything was skilled and had focus, it was pared down and productive, it knew its audience… I felt far better informed by 4pm and had learned things which whilst simple would not have crossed my mind without the teaching…what I learned is going to be useful in the Day Job.
